I was glued to this film and I could sense what was going on completely. This film in a way bridges the gap between America and Russia with the humor, the love of man and woman for each other and the humor among compatriots striving for excecellence is air superiority. I found the film throughly enjoyable and the actors with their facial expressions carried the film for me to an exciting evening.
