Story: 1944. To help win the war, the Pentagon brass has no choice but to consider the untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are about to be shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. These intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country - and the fate of the free world
Likes : All credit should go to the director Anthony Hemingway & the writers Aaron McGruder, John Ridley of this true story red tails, i'm not one on second world war film's but this was outstanding. If these guys are still alive today well done for proving everyone what fine fighter pilots you are & proving everyone that it doesn't matter what colour you are, you have the right to fight for you country no matter what.Two well known outstanding performances by Terrence Howard who plays Colonel A.J. Bullard fighting to get his men respect in the air force & Cuba Gooding Jr. who plays second in command Major Emanuelle Stance who tries to teach the boys respect & how to get it.this film was one of the most outstanding second world war films Ive see where a group of African American fighter pilots earn their respect by doing the job they were told to do,despite the American government at the time felt in bassist to have them fighting a war which i thought was wrong but i'm dam proud of them for proving that they could fighter as well as the other fighter pilots despite the racism bullshit back then. Red tail pilots Marty 'Easy' Julian played by Nate Parker, Ray 'Junior' Gannon played by Tristan Wilds, Samuel 'Joker' George played by Elijah Kelley,Joe 'Lightning' Little a complete nut case of a pilot but a dam good one played by David Oyelowo,Andrew 'Smoky' Salem played by singer Ne-Yo fantastic performance, Leon 'Neon' Edwards played Kevin Phillips, Declan 'Winky' Hall played by Leslie Odom Jr., Sticks (as Cliff Smith) played by singer Method Man i believe to be from music group woo tung clan, Maurice Wilson played by Michael B. Jordan, these outstanding fighter pilots of the red tail fighter squardern went on to claim respect not only for themselves but from every American fighter pilot back in 1944 & got best record of any air fighter group got 96 distinguished flying cross medals for there outstanding fighting & keeping the bombs safe. This film to me is outstanding for several reasons (1 is the fact that these men bravely put their lives on the line for a racist military government back in 1944 & won respect in their own right, 2) is they done better than any other fighter group, these men are the best of the best, it show no matter what colour you are, you have the right to fight in any war with the country your in because at the end of the day & its true in the words of Micheal Jackson may he rest in peace it doesn't matter if your black or white. We all bleed the same blood under the skin so stop the racism we are all one, that's what the film inspires.
Dislikes : Not a dam thing wrong with this film just an outstanding film
Overall : Ariel dog fighting, combat action, laughter, tears this film has it all outstanding performances from all actors, a worth watching film
Rating: 5 out of 5 for action, 10 out of 10 for true story
