"Da 5 Bloods": Movie Review
Spike Lee's new film, "Da 5 Bloods" is without a doubt, the worst film of 2020. It's over the top, moralistic approach to Vietnam is downright laughable and the significance of its story diminished by a deficient script (rewrote by Lee and Kevin Willmott) is all kinds of awful. An embarrassing display of sheer incompetency on all fronts, "Da 5 Bloods" is nothing short of one of the worst films of all time.
Four Vietnam vets return to Vietnam to retrieve their gold left by their fallen squad leader (Chadwick Boseman).
Appalled, heartbroken, and miserably let down, there isn't a single redeeming scene in its 154-minute runtime. Atrocious casting, acting, and woefully executed supporting roles (even by legends such as Clarke Peters and Isiah Whitlock Jr.) wither down an already unbearable experience. In a rare attempt of arrogant glee, Lee has single handily created an ineptitude that I didn't think was merely possible to put out into a cinematic experience.
Besides its godawful, ever-changing aspect ratio, it's completely unfocused inability to tell a coherent story is utterly shameful. This is a pitiful example of a film that should've never been made, nor put in the hands of an individual whose pedigree remains in question.
