Spike Lee isn't a historian

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2020)

He's made a few great movies (X & DTRT) and a few pretty good but this is awful. The only thing that saved him was the great actors in the film. The script was just weak and narrow, predictable characters in a lame plot.
If this "Soul Brother" was so "down" with Malcolm X, as Lee should have known, then he would have never gone to war for the US in the first place.
If he wanted to teach about black Americans military history then make a documentary like Oliver Stone did and just stick to the film.
But mostly it's the continuous agenda Lee has and his stereotypical characters in his movies time and time again, saved by all the great actors he gets. In conclusion, he's still a midget.
