36% Red Tails

How will we know who does first if everyone is black?

Despite a worthy fact-based story and obvious good intentions, Red Tails suffers from one-dimensional characters, corny dialogue, and heaps of clichés.

Spielberg took years and massive amounts of his own financing to fight Hollywood stereotypes to ring a film with strong black characters as heroes to theaters, only to find that racism in the industry still prevails in the face of success of films like those of Tyler Perry. That disparity speaks volumes.
