Epic Failure

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2020)

I gave up at the 42 minute mark when the head "da blood" guy racked his M-16 like a pump action shotgun (with the handguard no less. Seriously). Made the standard "chk...chk" sound. Previously, they went into an area in a Huey that hovered at 100 ft while being blasted by 50 machine guns. It just hovered there waiting to be shot down - this is just dumb. The 60 year old guys (present day) are exactly the same 60 year old guys during the war 40 years prior - no effort to even blacken ridiculously long (and grey) beards. Units are wrong. If the goal was to make an epic portrayal of black soldiers in Vietnam - a very worthy goal - this movie failed hard. Details matter. This movie is a disgrace to the very many black men who fought and died in Vietnam.
