No wonder this went straight to Netflix... How could Spike Lee associate his name with this drivel?

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2020)

My wife put this film on so I knew nothing about it - and was amazed afterwards to find that it is a Spike Lee film because it is so bad we gave up with it about two thirds through.
Where to begin? The performances are passable, but the story is both unbelievable and predictable, while the script is dreadful. Really poor.
To begin with swearing does not both me much, but it did here because it seems that all of the characters only knew one swear word, and used it in every other damn sentance. Seriously. And at times several times in the same sentance.
Seriously, are black Americans this unimaginative and lacking in vocabulary? Surely not. Damn it, if this was a white director I'd be accusing them of racism. So why the hell is a BLACK American director making them sound like complete idiots?
As for the storyline itself I can suspend belief but... come on! No need to go into detail but The Lavender Hill Mob is a more realistic plot. Carry On films have characters with more foresight.
Spike Lee has a great reputation. So was he asleep for this film? Did he lose interest?
