Red Tails
It's "Top Gun" meets "The Help" meets "Saving Private Ryan" meets "Stalag 17" when George Lucas dramatizes the amazing story of the famed Tuskegee Airmen. Follow the exploits of "Easy", "Joker", "Lightning", and "Ray Gun" under the "experimental" command of Terence Howard and Cuba Gooding Jr. You will care and cheer for these talented pilots and their camaraderie. These terrific characters drive this fascinating story of racism and heroism. You will be treated to some spectacular aerial dogfights, but what else would you expect from the man who brought you x-wings versus tie fighters, the Millennium Falcon, and bombing runs on death stars. The film plays a little heavy handed at the beginning, but you'll be swelling with patriotic pride by the end. Nicely done, Lucas. Alien salutes you.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "red tails and black wings trying to gain some respect" stars out of 4.
