Had to reactivate my account to warn you about how terrible this is

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2020)

This film is an absolute mess. It starts out well, with 4 Viet Nam vets going back to find their dead buddy. And some gold that they hid. What gold? Never properly explained. But it's been buried just below the surface for 50 years, and no-one ever found it. One of the vets' son finds it when he goes to take a dump. I'm not making that up.
That's not the biggest coincidence though. They are found in the jungle by a group of mine-clearing activists they met in town before setting off. You know, after hiking through the jungle for days. And just as one of them steps on an old mine. Just, "Oh hi!" in the jungle. The mine clearers say that they can't clear mines, though.
One guy gets bit by a snake and sucks the lood out, then falls over, loses the gold, and just keeps walking without even picking up his rifle. Hardened vet with 3 tours under his belt.
Next up is one of the vets' ex-girlfriend who looks about 20 years too young to have been of age in the late 60s. And her daughter by said vet doesn't look close to 50 either. He also finds her house even though he hasn't been in touch. He doesn't even know he has a daughter. But walks right up, rings the doorbell and has dinner with her.
The firefights are some of the worst you have ever seen. Everyone is a terrible shot except the heroes. Even though they all fire on full auto with what seems to be 400 round magazines. And one of them shoots a guy in the head first round even though he just said he's never held a gun.
Then in the last 30 seconds a Black Lives Matter sequences gets tacked on, which sort of fits. But the film was shot in spring 2019, so it's obvious they just added a current events message to it. Which muddles the story about what the vets went through, their struggles and current lives.
In the end, nearly everyone is dead and the gold gets given away. By this point, you don't care, cause the characters have developed so little depth, and seem to be acting randomly.
What a disaster. Don't waste your time watching it! I thought Spike Lee was supposed to be good? How did this get a rating above 3/10 on any platform?
