I've been quite tentative on recent Spike Lee outings, maybe he doesn't have it any more I said.

I watched the trailer for this and knew I had already been proving wrong.

The story of 4 black soldiers who served in Vietnam going back to reclaim many things they lost, love, gold and much more.

While the cast was all excellent, Delroy Lindo as Paul STOLE the show in what is probably his greatest performance.

From the very start you can tell he's a PTSD powder keg ready to explode and boy does he ever.

The hurt, the anger, the bitterness, even the psychosis is on full display as he presents to the audience a truly broken man, if he's not atleast up for an oscar it will be highway robbery.

Chadwick Boseman shines in what is slightly more than a cameo as Stormin Norman.

I'm assuming they shot on location in Vietnam, if not they did a heck of a job recreating vietnam because everything looks very authentic, especially the jungles.

Lastly even though there's not a whole lot of it, the gore effects are SUPERB, there's one scene and you'll know when you see it where someone dies and it's just disgusting yet beautiful at the same time.

The acapella Marvin Gaye soundtrack interwoven with real life solders who wouldn't otherwise get mention was the cherry on top.

Bravo to all involved, Spike Lee is back.
