“Battle Over Britain” (*** out of four) was a compellingly done historical war drama set in the title Britain in which various military fighter pilots (David Dobson, Jeffrey Mundell, Callum Burn, and others) fight to defend their country, no matter the odds or differences with one another. Not a great film and not on anywhere near the grand or expansive (or expensive) canvas that it needs but is well-acted and well-told with many strong and powerful moments that make it better than most others of its genre. Lyrical music score by Ben Thatcher is key attribute to film’s emotional content and helps film to connect that much more.
