Contrived

Rating: 3/10 (12 June 2020)

The anticipated Spike Lee Joint about Black Soldiers in Vietnam has arrived. And this film is indicative of Lee's continued to struggle to make films. This movie is so contrived that its impossible to understand why anybody continues to green light his films. The basic story line only works when your flashback scenes in Vietnam in 1968 doesn't feature twenty year olds with beer bellies and grey beards. Not sure why Lees' makeup artist couldn't spot this glaring problem. In short this film is a complete mess.
