Red Tails 2012

Product Details     A true story of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II.  The U.S. military recruits and trains the Tuskegee fighter pilots to help defeat the German airmen and protect the American bombers.  They have put in this effort but they don't believe these men can do the job, they don't want to give them priority jobs and later want to disband the team.  Finally, it is realized what they can really do and they give them better assignments which do cost more of their lives.
     I had a very hard time maintaining interest in this, possibly because it is just not my subject.  It did not help to watch with an experienced pilot who pointed out there were many errors.  The air fights have very loud volume and the dialogue sequences are much lower so you need to keep adjusting the volume.  3* (This movie is OK)

125 min, War directed by Anthony Hemingway with Terrence Howard, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Bryan Cranston, Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Tristan Wilds, Method Man, Lee Tergesen, Ne-Yo, Elijah Kelley, Andre Royo, Kevin L. Philips, Leslie Odom, Jr.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.7 out of 10, 37% critic 63% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
