Reviews
Derek Smith wrote in the Apollo Movie Guide that viewers were wondering if they had seen the film before. The formula seems familiar and predictable. One of the biggest problems is that the writers could not choose between a romantic film and an action film. The script was sketchy, but the lead actors' play was "surprisingly good".
The magazine TV Spielfilm 8/2008 described the film as "lame".
“Aviation adventure with a love story on the side, which essentially revolves around the topics of responsibility and professional ethics. Leisurely staged entertainment with some successful landscape and animal shots. "
