Spike Lee is on a roll.
This is another sharp, well acted, beautifully shot film with a great soundtrack/score & fascinating characters.
Casting Chadwick Boseman seems kinda ironic, as this is thematically very similar to _Black Panther_.
The story itself reminded me a lot of last year’s _Triple Frontier_.

8.5/10

**08/10.**

In Spike Lee's newest joint "Apocalypse Now" meets "The Treasure of Sierra Madre". The titular "5 Bloods" are the 5 African-American men who fought together in the "Vietnam War" or as guys in 'Nam like to call -- the "American War." The remaining 4 Bloods of today would like to go back for the remains of their fallen brother and buried "gold."

Spike Lee wastes no time in getting to the point right away. He uses actual footage from the past and makes sure to educate the folks of today.

Though like most of his joints the story can become long and messy, the incredible direction and powerful performances make this the best film I have seen this year.

_Da 5 Bloods_ was made for TV as much as _Blakklansman_ was made for the cinema. I kept trying to make this movie mean more than it did, but it wouldn't let me.

I really wanted to like this, and the concept is certainly both worthy and interesting. It is of course performing a valuable service in highlighting once again some of the issues faced by Black people in America during the Vietnam War and after. I just couldn't warm to it, however, because I found it all just a bit too predictable and preachy. The dialogue in particular I felt was wooden. I just couldn't get immersed in it. I bailed about 45 minutes in, though, so perhaps it improves later?

Another in a long line of Netflix movies you can watch if you feel like be preached to by people with agendas.

It had everything to be a great movie, but is too long and there are a lot of unnecessary parts, it is a shame because the acting is so good.

How much did the Trump administration pay Spike Lee to have that stupid make America great again cap all over the movie?

The hat was emblematic of what's going on right now. Probably go to CBS This Morning for their interview with Spike Lee about the movie if you need help understanding the underlying message with the hat.

I don't think the use of the cap in this movie reflects good to the trump administration. I guess maybe you missed the point

The treatment of this story is poor at best and drags on for longer that I could be bothered.

I am keen on vietnam war era movies, especially when they provide a new point of view, and the scenario promised to be that. But between the scene given a poor camera, the disjointed storyline with numerous flashback using the same actors, the mix in of flashes of civil right events of the times, the length for some scenes without really any impact on the rest of the story and the basic same old clichés about the 60s/70s era make this a film a missable experience unless you are considering spending 2:30 hours on a _Spike Lee_ film.

What could have been a masterpiece outside the realm of BLM, is instead a repetitive and unexciting focus on 5 Vietnam vets who happen to be black.

Overly long movie that doesn't give the viewer anything new filled up with Spike Lee's well-known political side and need to "educate" the viewer about the hardships and accomplishments of black people in America. Remove the political scenes and lessons in history and you have a mediocre film that doesn't even get on the level of The Three Kings from a decade ago.

There is a nice message out there but that's clearly not the message Spike Lee wanted to send.

In a short span of time, they were able to locate the remains of their fallen squad leader...okay.
With the ambition to reacquire the treasure they buried, they continued their search even if it's dangerous...okay.
But above all, they are still soldiers. Don't forget that.
