Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
What's memorable about the film is the high degree of accuracy. There are a number of gaffes, due primarily to filmmaking compromises.

Rating: 4/5 --
Excellent and harrowing account of the trials of a World War II bomber crew.
Reno Gazette-Journal
Sensitive, gripping, oddly old-fashioned cinema.

Time Out
Monte Merrick's script is an unspectacular, cliche-riddled voyage from start to finish, with everyone lugging their own tote-bags of facile character idiosyncrasies.

Rating: 3/4 --
This human element in the experience of the Memphis Belle crew somehow compensates for a lack of human dimension in the characters. We can't really tell the crew members apart, and don't much care to, but we can identify with them.

The direction by Michael Caton-Jones' is undistinguished here, but the material is not great.
