Red Tails (2012)
6/10
good fighter CG action, story lines sadly traditional
26 August 2013
It's 1944 Italy. The Tuskegee Airmen are a squadron of black pilots finally given the chance to prove themselves in the sky, even while they're battling discrimination on the ground. The are given the task of protecting bombers sent to destroy Germany.

This stars a large cast of black actors most notably Terrence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. The story of these men is a whole lot of cheesy stale clichés. The filmmaker seemed to have concentrated on CG fighter action more than giving these men good story lines. This multi-story line is embarrassingly old school. If they could just do one character, that would be an improvement. And imagine if that character is real.
