CinemaSerf6 Feb 22, 2026All we really needed here was “Biggles” and we could have had a grand wartime airborne adventure between the red and the white. We know that Denis Arndt’s glider is being pursued by a dastardly enemy but why? Well, probably so we can watch some aero-acrobatics as both ride the thermals and are deftly photographed as they have their bullet-free dogfight. Arndt tries his hand at acting a little, but the less said about that the better - he ought to just concentrate on remembering to take of his seatbelt - and there’s a quirky twist at the end to keep it interesting if you’re interested in your sport encased in a balsa wood cockpit.
Recommendations
Early morning silence is broken by screeching tires as a helicopter bears down on a speeding vehicle. Taking a quick corner, the team tumbles out into the woods as their car pulls away. Now they must make their way through the thick of nature and thick gunfire to accomplish their mission. Not a single word of dialogue is spoken throughout the entire film. Instead, the music, sounds, images and deeply truthful acting turn a simple plot into an intense experience. Passion and intrigue keep building to the very end.
