Another "White" perspective

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2020)

Mr Lee,
You really flopped with Da 5 Bloods.
Being a Vietnam combat veteran with PTSD, and considering whatever the premise you originally conjured up, I could barely get through the first hour. So many things depicted wrongly and inaccurately. Sad. You obviously did not do your homework, and at my expense I might add.
My #1 criteria for most movies is Believability. There was no believability with this story. Zilch. It was mish-mash at best. It has the appearance of a production gone very wrong and only becoming salvageable because of Netflix deal and a global pandemic. Box Office receipts would most likely have been very bad.
This movie will not be a hit with black veterans either. In fact, my guess is that it will be an embarrassment.
Suggestion? Stick to what you know. ...said the Vietnamese chicken vendor to the psychopathic vet.
And by the way, why continue the same, sad, and condescending look at the proud and vigilant Vietnamese people? Presenting black veteran soldiers (and all soldiers) as victims of a rotten empirical power (USA) should equally qualify all Vietnamese people similarly. You gave zero recognition to this beautiful country and it's people; just americanized, trashy views of bar flies hanging out in clubs named Apocalypse Now and gold hungry thugs waiting in the jungle to get their share.
Sad indeed.
