HBO never ceases to impress me., 30 August 1999
10/10
Author: Fishbone-2 from Spokane, Washington

HBO is by far the best at making original movies and shows. Tuskeegee Airmen is no exception, in fact it's my favorite movie from HBO pictures to date. Stunning acting and a fantastic script. My praise goes out to all involved in this film and I definately hope HBO continues it's long trend of fantastic films and series.
