Arizona Republic - Unnamed
Perhaps the movie's most surprising feat? Somehow, the darned thing mostly works, probably because its heart is in the right place.
67
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
As long as it stays in the air, Red Tails is a compelling sky-war pageant of a movie. On the ground, it's a far shakier experience: dutiful and prosaic, with thinly scripted episodes that don't add up to a satisfying story.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Red Tails is entertaining. Audiences are likely to enjoy it. The scenes of aerial combat are skillfully done and exciting.
63
Philadelphia Inquirer - Steven Rea
There isn't a real, flesh-and-blood figure in the bunch. Everything about Red Tails - the breaking down of racial barriers, the military achievements, the courage and sacrifice - is diminished in the process.
50
Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
Red Tails squanders a great subject, reducing the real-life struggles and fierce heroics of the Tuskegee Airmen to rickety cliche.
