Review – Da 5 Bloods

I found myself strangely disappointed by this movie. That might be because as soon as I heard that Spike Lee was making a movie about Black soldiers in Vietnam my imagination pictured something so good that no actual picture could live up to it. A cast full of talented actors further raised my expectations. The result wasn’t a terrible movie. But the story was unfocused until it settled into patterns familiar to anyone who’s ever seen The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Overall not bad, but I expected better. Mildly amusing
