FLYBOYS is a good old-fashioned historical drama concerning the Lafayette Escadrille a French regiment of American volunteer airmen serving the allied cause in WWI before the US became officially involved. James Franco plays Blaine a Texas rancher he bunks with Eugene (Abdul Salis) an African American boxer whose been living in Paris as an ex-patriate to get away from American racism. Other fighters include a pampered New York scion (Tyler Labine) and a lanky lazy Kansan (David Ellison). They all train under the patient hand of the French commander succinctly embodied by the wondrous Jean Reno (LEON). Martin Henderson (TORQUE) is good and brusque as a jaded flier with a bunch of kills under his belt and an obsession with an ace German fighter he wont let the new kids drink in the officers club until theyve shot down their first planes. It all unfolds in a no-nonsense linear narrative that reminds one of early films like THE DAWN PATROL (1930) and WINGS (1927) and theres a comfortingly familiar orchestral score thats heavy with the cloud-invoking wooden flute. But the CGI-enhanced aerial dogfight scenes are the crux of the feature and history fans should be frothing at the mouth with all the zeppelins dogfights and enemy chivalry. Theres plenty of well-researched period detail and even some romance in the form of a good girl gone semi-bad from a nearby brothel (the very charming Jennifer Decker).
