Good Evening, and welcome to tonights "Screenshot:2009". On this program we take a close look at the latest release by director Zambarett. We are of course talking about "Recon and Attack", his long awaited big budget recreation of the Battle of the Atlantic in World War Two, in which a German convoy is spotted by a flying boat, and RAF Coastal Command courageously attacks it.

This has to be a risky venture for Zambarett. He's invested a lot of his own money in the venture, and even with the generous help of AAA members, has managed to complete this story by his own efforts. Interestingly, his script seems almost devoid of dialogue, and you can't help feeling the actors are struggling to make the best of what lines they've been given. The lack of A list stars in the cast doesn't help, and don't expect any love interest.

The story is of course as true to life as the director could make it, and the historical accuracy is very good, though with limited special effects the more observant will spot a certain flying boat masquerading under British colours.

I think this is an ambitious release with impressive colour and period feel. First impressions have been favourable. For me, as a thrilling story it doesn't quite hit the spot. You don't identify with the leading characters, mostly because there aren't any, and by the end of the screenshots you tend to think it was always going to end in victory with enemy ships sinking. All in all, three stars. Take some popcorn, and if you enjoy watching World War Two aircraft you'll love it to bits.

Zambarett is one of the rising stars in the screenshot genre, and I wish him all the best for his next project.

Well that's all we have time for tonight. next week we'll be reviewing the latest Zombie-Fighter Pilot Fest from Stephen Spielberg. Goodnight.
