Lucas gives his action take onWW11 finally after Spielberg and it's worth the wait.The best dog fights i've seen yet including against JETS near the close of the war.Ok,it's full of clichés and stories we've seen before BUT this time it's about the finally getting some credit ,all black Tuskegee squadron that never lost a bomber they were escorting to enemy fighters.Historically this movie may be somewhat exaggerated but what war movie isn't?
The important thing is the true relevance of this unit at the time,in a segregated military as well as general society.So if it's not 100 percent accurate so what?
I enjoyed it and only took 1 star off because I feel they held back for the box office.You could tell Spike Lee didn't make this film but Lucas did.Released in 2012 its a might long at 125 minutes.Still I hope for more down the road.The acting was stellar with a grade "A" mostly black cast.Special props to David Oyelowo as Joe 'Lightning' Little,a brash role of a angry black man who fights with the best and loves a white woman and well you just know he's not gonna make it.Sad,but you need that in any war movie and he delivered.
Do your self a favor and see it if war movies are your thing.The best I've seen in quite awhile.Trailer URL follows the pix.
