"The film is about the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African-American United States Army Air Forces(USAAF) servicemen during World War II. "
I'm all for more movies with about the history of black people in America. I have a soft spot for it because I am 25% black, I can not forget the actions of the men who came before me who made it possible for me to have the life I live. So whenever this is a movie about black Americans (as long as it's not about gangs or slavery)I get excited about it.
With that out of the way, I have to say this film is so bad! I don't understand how it can be when you have an excellent cast with Terrence Howard (Ironman), Cuba Gooding Jr (Radio), Nate Parker (Pride), Method Man, and many more. I have to say its poor direction and editing. Things seemed rushed but it's not as bad as you think. I do believe that the director did not hold anything back, but I thought it needed more depth. I do enjoy the interracial relationship one pilot had with an Italian woman, the personal struggle of another, and the overall life for the pilots. The dialogue was very bad and filled with cliches. Ah, I hated whenever Ne-Yo would talk. His character was just so bad, I don't know whose idea it was to make him talk like he did in the film, but they should be fired. The film is based on actual events, but none of the pilots are real.
