5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Doc!, August 19, 2008

I saw this film in the theater last year and found it a fascinating look inside the world of ariel dogfighting. The cinematography and the flying scenes were fantastically shot and exhillerating to watch. But what made the film resonate with me (to the point where is still sticks in my head a year later) were the incredibly personal stories of the pilots in training.

It's also very timely, with our nation at war -- and I appreciated it being slanted neither jingoistic or politically anti-war. Make no mistake, this is a film about a dying art form and the people who (quite literally) are willing to die for it.

If you have an interest in flying, the military, or even just an exceptionally well made documentary, Speed & Angels is well worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch, August 20, 2008

I had the chance to see this film a few weeks ago, and it is by far the best documentary on Navy pilots ever put out there. Peyton Wilson is a very talented director who not only shoots fantastic arial scenes, but also achieves a closeness with her characters that is nothing short of amazing. A must see.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing human interest story, August 20, 2008

Speed and Angels is an amazing human interest story about the dedication and perseverance required to achieve your dreams. While the aerial and cockpit scenes are breathtaking, the real power behind this film is in the stories of Jay and Meagan and their unwillingness to settle for anything less than fulfilling their lifelong ambitions. You truly get to know these young pilots and will find yourself rooting for them to succeed. A really great documentary delivered with a personal, unbiased and honest touch.
