Mind-boggingly bad...

Rating: 3/10 (16 June 2020)

Such a good angle to start with! Black G.I's coming back to Vietnam. This goldmine of a premise litterally turned into a landmine. The story is RIDICULOUS. Unneccessary plot points and implausible characters make this movie almost unbearable to watch. Surfing unwillingly between Apocalypse Now and Tropic Thunder, this movie never finds a leg to stand on. It's tonally way off and the score is so heavy-handed that you find yourself looking for a witty comment that's just not there. Performances are on par with what you would expect from a Spike Lee joint, poignant... but again such heavy-handed directing turned them into parody. Bad parody. The ultimate cringe.
Now I have a lot of respect for Spike Lee, and god knows I will watch his next movie. But man, is that all you could do with MAGA? For real???
