Wolf Hound

The aircraft scenes are absolutely gorgeous because they used actual airplanes for them, however the rest of the movie sucks. Bad cgi bullets, things that make no sense, and an obvious push for woman power, etc.

The script for this movie is totally ridiculous. I did not serve in combat during WWII, did serve in the Marines in Vietnam. I laughed through the first 15 minutes of the movie. No professional military person, whether he was in the Army, Navy, Marines or Army Air Corp would have acted as these people did. Totally unbelievable. They found a suitable bunch of actors to match the quality of the script. Some of them would never have made the cut in most of the high school plays I've seen. I've seldom heard worst German accents than these people had. If you have to kill 2 hours of time, don't spend it watching this terrible movie. Hit your thumb with a hammer. It will be less painful.

It's getting almost exhausting listing everything wrong with these bad independent films portraying the war that have been produced in the last ten years or so and trying to think of different ways to describe them. It's also kind of exhausting making myself sit through each one, which I can't always do, in all honesty.

This one is different from most in its category (low budget, unknown filmmakers, no military advisor, World War II), in that I did sit through it, and it was based on a story that involved flying rather than the war on the ground. In that aspect, I assume that this one involved a higher budget, though that money definitely didn't go to ensuring that the American airplanes were painted with invasion stripes like every Allied plane had after the invasion of Sicily, nor did it go into the costume budget. One of the American airmen had a rank insignia on his shirt that had three chevrons of a sergeant, but there was an eagle under the chevrons that looked like the eagle on the modern-day U. S. Army specialist (E-4) rank insignia. I knew that I was in for low quality when they used a made-up German-English hybrid word (Wulfe-Hound) in the prologue.

The worst things about this one were the logistics of the story and the equipment. The Germans had modern hunting knives instead WWII-era military knives, and the Americans somehow found M1 rifles and the ammo for them in the German airbase in Southern France. Oh yeah, and the speed of the planes was amazing! In the last scene, the B-17, B-25, and the Bf-109 all made it from Southwestern France to England in just a few minutes. In fact, the whole story takes place during daylight within a single day. I won't comment on the B-25 dogfighting with the Bf-109. I could go on and on, but I promised myself I wouldn't.

Nevertheless, I think the actors did a pretty good job with what they were given, I must say. If you're someone who likes movies with action and pilots who cry when they find their KIA wingmen on the ground, and don't pay attention to the impossible and highly unlikely elements of the story, this film should be pretty enjoyable for you.

Good for the aerial scenes. Acting unbelievebly poor. Stereo typed Germans from a bad 80's film. A long boring section in the middle that could have been edited down. Not the worst film I have ever seen. For most part had it on in the background whilst I was doing other things, until it got interesting again in last twenty five minutes or so.

The story had good potential but let down by really hammy acting. The aerial sequences were good considering that no CGI was used for the main scenes. Did feel that some of the aircraft performance was extremely exaggerated, especially the Hurricane taking down the Mustang P51.

Bad acting! These two words describe the movie in toto. The plot and storyline was good and I think it would have turned out to be a good movie only if the acting and dialogue was better.
