Had all the promises of a great film, but quickly slipped into cliched music, dialogue and scenes. Some of the flying scenes were OK, but the CGI was poor to say the least. They reminded me of and were slightly better than the awful film Hurricane. There was the boy meets girl storyline and of course, the sadness felt whenever one of the squadron died. Base this around the neutrality of Southern Ireland during the war, and the hatred of the English, what could have been a great film was reduced to a B movie type effort, which I was glad to have seen on TV rather than pay at the cinema. Based on a true story? Probably, but did this really do justice for the real Paddy, who really was a hero.

Having read some of the reviews here I am not sure we are talking about the same movie.came across this film by accident and never heard of the protagonist, it should of been a great movie, seems it was filmed to look like an old film which it succeeds in doing, but the flight scenes are absolutely awful and seem to be out of focus most of the time and the acting is not great. Story line is ok I guess but could have been better written. Seems like it was shot on a very low budget which is a shame as having an interest in all WW2 stuff I was hoping it was going to be great shame it didn't live up to my hopes, it's a shame they didn't have a higher budget.

Yes the film is on a tight budget, actors I have never heard of, some dodge CGI mind you not as bad as Die Another Day. I had never heard of Brendan Finucane before, I live near Hornchurch and never knew their was a wing based their. The best thing about this film was the "Story" a true story, I learnt some info about Spits and a lot about Hornchurch and loads about this amazing young man. To lose his life the way he did, heartbreaking even worse for Bluie who lost his life after the war doing a training mission. The battle scenes are Ok, yes it's not Top Gun Marvel quality and maybe some shots are not the right spits But it's a decent film, not perfect, but does not deserve the hate. Maybe this film is about the past and what we can learn from it, the youth of today should remember this: "For your tomorrow, We gave our today" This is why we must never forget the sacrifice these men and women made for us to have our freedom today.

Everything about it gives the vibe that the directors and whoever else was apart of making this movie dislikes Britain very much and it's very uncomfortable. Don't watch this if you want an accurate representation of the Battle of Britain or any dogfighting of that matter. The CGI is shocking and some of the normal shots outside of the plane just look awful due to bad editing. Absolute mess of a movie and with such a good story they could've and should've done much better. It just all feels like a rushed chucked together stretched out film where they dig at Britain as much as possible I am very disappointed.

Considering the low budget and made by an independent company, this is a pretty impressive film. It covers the early life, through to the Battle of Britain experience of Brendan Finucane. Yes there is CGI but considering the cost to hire and fly real Spitfires or even build one, the CGI elements are fine. There is plenty of action, and at times some graphic scenes but not over the top. I recommend the film, especially if your interested in the history of the period. It doesn't bog you down with statistics, but specifically focuses on Finucane, his squadron and at times his family. If your interested in a very brief history between Ireland and Britain then that box is ticked also.

I found the film interesting, despite the early statement, that Paddy was a term of endearment in England, when quite the opposite was in fact true. Irish neutrality is a badge of honor, We were a newly independent state in 1922 and freeing ourselves from British imperialism . This Imperialism which the sun was supposed to never set, still had India and many other country's under its none democratic thumb The black & tans /British army which had terrorized Ireland was fresh in the memory, the Famine less than a hundred years past, What Britons seem to forget is that Winston Churchill only had a problem with Fascism when it endangered the Empire. Mohatma Gandi was seen more of a danger, It is true that many Irish men and women choose to fight Fascism for economical and ideological reasons. Britain and France had turned its back on the Spanish Republic, In 1939 Britain found itself in the last chance saloon, History would be thankful that they choose to fight Fascism after sacrificing Czechoslovakia and then Poland. In 1939 Ireland was left with Hopson's choice between the iron heel and the lions den.

The Shamrock Spitfire" is a standout war drama that deserves top marks. Directors Dominic and Ian Higgins deliver a gripping and historically accurate portrayal of Brendan "Paddy" Finucane, the youngest Wing Commander in RAF history. Shane O'Regan shines in the lead role, capturing both the heroism and humanity of Finucane. The film's direction and cinematography are superb, especially the breathtaking aerial combat scenes that feel intensely real. The production's attention to detail in period settings really immerses the viewer in the 1940s wartime atmosphere. With its compelling narrative, strong performances, and high production quality, "The Shamrock Spitfire" is not just entertaining but also deeply inspirational. It's a must-watch for history buffs and general audiences alike.

I'd say im not sure why people are being so hard on this movie but i know why, its because our modern cgi society has expectations of megalithic eye candy melodrama & really doesnt have the heart to approach a subject like WW2 without it being a spectacle instead of autobiography. I pulled back tears many times & perhaps its because i associated with the individual & the family the movie primarily revolves around but i found it to be a sentimental experience that more than paid reverence for the subject matter. Granted it had an England-centric narrative that was a bit heavy handed & at times a bit hard to swallow as authentic, but what country isnt patriotic about its own history. In no way was i let down in being transported into the history of this war & felt a sense of mourning for the men who were lost fighting back the devil.

Wing Commander Brendan "Paddy" Finucane was one of the distinguished fighter aces of WW2, yet today he's been all but forgotten, but for the most avid aviation fanatic. As this visually stunning and very moving film shows, he was a remarkable young man (the youngest Wing Commander ever to serve in the RAF). Under the adept direction of Dominic and Ian Higgins, the cast delivers commendable performances breathing life into Finucane's story. The battle sequences are nothing short of breathtaking, capturing the chaos, intensity, and adrenaline of wartime. I found myself physically drained just from watching them-it was as if I were right there in the thick of the action. The music score is another standout, adding a layer of emotional power without overpowering the scenes. I have read that the filmmakers wanted to hark back to an earlier time of filmmaking, and I would say they have achieved that, it felt like a movie from the "golden age" of cinema, a classic war time weepy - yes, you'll need a hanky or too when you watch it! A great film about a great man.

Sure it's low budget, unknown actors, tries to get lots of context into the story, relies on cheap but effective visuals and is'nt up its own backside. Simple, straightforward, not making points about stuff that's got nothing to do with anything. Reminds me of a 1950's movie where you watch and munch the popcorn and have an enjoyable tale told well that keeps up the pace and interest till the end of the show. The acting was good, just playing their parts. I got really bored with planet of the apes,dune and other mega long, shiny, squillion dollar movies as they repeat the same story and the semi ok stars dominate...I want movies like this.... Honest film making!
