Kinda enjoyed the movie

Rating: 5/10 (16 June 2020)

The timing of the release of this movie is almost perfect, right at the height of the 'Black Lives Matter' protests and the continued racial injustices enacted upon black Americans. The story highlights somewhat the disproportional numbers of black GI's sent to Vietnam to fight for the same country that treated them as second class citizens and yet put them in large numbers to the front of the of the war.
The articulation of the story gets lost somewhat and the plot gets weak a few times. Delroy Lindo plays his heart out on his role but he is let down by the weak plot and carry through of the story. I was entertained and disappointed at the same time while watching this movie and maybe as a long time Spike Lee fan and I am a bit biased in my review. It is a comedy, crime and satirical 2 hrs plus experience, bring a pinch of salt and you will cringe and enjoy the good bits.
