Director: Dong-won Kim. Review: Chris Sawin. If South Korea had an answer to "Red Tails" from earlier this year, then "R2B: Return to Base" would be it. Many of its plot points are similar including a reckless pilot being selfish (Rain as Captain Jung Tae-Hun), another pilot doing everything by the book yet facing tragedy (Jun-sang Yu from "Moss" as Major Lee), those two pilots being the best in their class, that recklessness hurting the character but then being relied upon, and women eventually caving into selfish yet persistent behavior. That actually sounds a lot more like "Top Gun" and Tae-Hun and Lee have a relationship similar to that of Maverick and Iceman. "This is a top secret doc!" "R2B" is really ridiculous for at least an hour. The first five minutes of the movie feel like a music video. There really isn't a storyline other than training...
