Red Tails** (12A) 
(Cineworld Ipswich)

Episodes in combat of the US Army Air Corps 51st all Negro squadron, who battle their way out of obscurity in Italy to the front line against the Germans in 1944.
Quite industriously made variation on Glory (combined with elements of  Top Gun and Journey's End), with the wider issues of racism commendably restrained without being too overstated, in between some impressive action, where for once Lucasfilm manage to combine both good CGI and strong performances.

Roger Ebert review

RED TAILS. Where once George Lucas had the Rebel Alliance and X-wings fighting the evil Empire, now he has the Tuskegee Airmen and B51s fighting the evil Nazis - complete with their own Darth Vader/Red Baron figure (Lars van Riesen).
