	Media	Author	Review
		Kim Newman Empire	"Damp squib (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		TV Guide	"It's not so much a war film as a film at war with itself (...) And this cast gives anything but routine performances."
		Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times	"'Fire Birds' raison d’etre seems to be to show off state-of-the-art military hardware"
		Hal Hinson The Washington Post	"'Fire Birds' is a primitive dogfight movie (...) that serves as a kind of extended commercial for the U.S. Army"
