Review of Red Tails (2012) by Michael V — 20 Jun 2012
"Great true story, good cast, decent VFX but letdown by crappy dialogue. Rising actors like Nate Parker, David Oyelowo, Tristian Wilds & Michael B. Jordan (from one of my fave and surprising flicks of 12' Chronicle) do the best they can but letdown by a corny script.
Ne-Yo (who's becoming a decent actor himself) is given the funniest & best lines and gives another solid funny performance. Veterans Terrence Howard & Cuba Gooding Jr (a welcome back to the big screen)are underused (smh).
All that said, i'm a big fan of dogfight movies and while this one isn't as great as let's say the underrated 95's The Tuskegee Airmen, this is a good-enough looking story that's worth watching once.
