Durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un groupe de jeunes noirs est recruté pour former le premier escadron aérien noir de l'armée américaine. Surnommés les "queues rouges" en raison de la peinture distinctive de leurs chasseurs, ils durent affronter les préjugés de l'époque et se distinguer par leurs états de services pour exister.

I remember when they were filming Red Tails in Milovice. I saw a lot of photos, I even saw the old planes in the sky and I was thinking how glad I was that they were again filming something in Milovice and that it would certainly be worth it. Then I was sorry that the film was delayed and even sorrier that when it was finally released in America, it got quite a lot of negative reviews. But then I could finally watch it and judge it for myself. I think the biggest issue is with the black people who have their own style and you have to get used to them. That’s not so hard though, because after all the successes, they earned our favor. I rather regretted how extremely digital the film is. It’s nice that the effects were done by a Czech company, but I’m sorry that the film is so digital. It didn’t have to be. For example, when I compare it with older films about airmen from the First and Second World Wars, where the action was real action, I realize that there’s always been a way to film it. In this film they just wanted to spare themselves the work and rather worked with digital. Okay, so they did it the way they did it. On the other hand, I have to say that I enjoyed it and this film certainly doesn’t deserve a negative review.

Quite a lot of value for 30 million dollars. Excellent action sequences (with a few exceptions), brilliantly shot aerial combat. Unfortunately, the the story is firstly predictable and boring, secondly flat, without any stronger emotional catharsis (how many films have we seen where a foreigner finds their love from a completely different nationality in a city?). There’re no raw deaths like in Saving Private Ryan, nor the fierceness and urgency of Black Hawk Down. Moreover, seeing a turbo-prop fighter destroying a 150-meter armored cruiser with a regular machine gun was a bit too much for me. The film shows enthusiasm, but unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

"Colonel, eight German fighters or eighty German fighters, it still doesn't change what I think of you and your boys." A completely seamless film, offering above all great action scenes, of which there are many and each of which always comes up with something new. Vivat ILM! The two hours passed very quickly, I enjoyed the unique actors and I got used to Blanchard's music, which seemed unnecessarily modern when I listened to it alone. The main idea of Red Tails is (unfortunately) still relevant, and so, mainly due to the film's tone, I'm happy to overlook the few implausibilities (of which I was most bothered by the final one-on-one fight with a Messerschmitt 262 jet). Four and a bit.
