Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJerry O'Keefe was a Marine pilot in World War II. He shot down 5 Japanese planes in one day on April 22, 1945, becoming an ace in one day. He shot down 2 more on April 28, 1945. He was awarded the Navy Cross and the Distinguished Flying Cross.
- GoofsWhen Jerry goes to Willie's mother's home to meet with him, Willie's mother mentions to Jerry that Willie is "one of eleven siblings." Jerry responds, telling her "I have thirteen children of my own." To which Willie quips "Y'all have twenty-six kids between you." Of course, thirteen plus eleven - as per the released version of the film - equals twenty-four, not twenty-six.

Featured review
Solid solid movie
Very well acted. Well written. Well directed. The story was stressful and I definitely did predict a few scenarios but that's mostly cause it's based on a true story so it's easier to predict a real scenario. It has some good love and heart. It's definitely entertaining for a drama. Very stressful and if it's a true story it's hard to complain about the outcome since it's what actually happens. This is a true story that's well told. Well captured and has a strong impact. Emotions flow through the movie. That's hard to get. This is a very good movie and I'd recommend it to anyone that actually likes heart felt court room dramas. I would have gave it a 7 but i picked 8 to make up for the racist people who didn't like the outcome.
