I thought it was great

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2020)

Reading other user reviews here on IMDb, it's obvious this is a pretty divisive film. People are like you "either love or hate this movie." The truth is, some may love it, others may hate it. But there will still be those in between. For me, I thought it was great and one of Spike Lee's best yet.
The story may seem predictable and not entirely original, but the actors bring the script to life in such a lively and energetic way that you kind of don't notice the cliche plot points. There are intense scenes throughout, especially one extremely tense scene that I won't spoil, but if you've seen it, you know exactly what scene I'm referring to.
Overall, "Da 5 Bloods" is worth watching if you're a big movie person, or if you're just a casual Netflix subscriber looking for something new to watch. It's the cast and Spike Lee's directing that bring this film to life, and I was left satisfied by the end. If you don't like it, that's okay. Film is art, and art is subjective.
