The story of the Tuskegee Airmen is a great heartfelt story and one that should have been told sooner, these brave and courageous men faced insurmountable odds to become combat pilots at that time so I have nothing but respect and admiration for them and it was good to see this on film.
With that said the movie is not perfect by any means, some of the dialogue was quite poor and very cheesy, also being made in 95 with a small budget this obviously doesn't translate well to the combat scenes as they even had to use WW2 stock footage which makes it seem like something made in the 60's, for me this broke the immersion at times but nothing to serious.
Apart from that the story is well told albeit with some minor historical inaccuracies, the heavy racism is something they didn't shy away from and just went to show some of what these men had to endure, all in all it's well worth a watch but with any luck we will get a future remake with the budget it deserves.
7/10.
