Not Spike's best work but an overall enjoyable film.

Rating: 6/10 (12 June 2020)

Half the people reviewing this have probably never seen a Spike Lee film and probably turned it off within the first 5 minutes so take it all with a grain of salt.
Spike's recent work has been nothing compared to his earlier work but this and BlacKkKlansmen have so far been some of his better work. The acting is great with Delroy Lindo delivering a fantastic performance. Clarke Peters is also amazing along with Jonathan Majors. The story comes across a muddled to me at some points. There's not a lot of characterization for anyone except maybe two or three of the characters. The film sort of keeps going after a while when it should've stopped like an half hour before. There's also some subplot regarding a girl and her friends that have some sort of organization that searches for land mines which is pretty stupid and only serves as a way for there to be a character death and for there to be an action scene.
I enjoyed it though for the most part. Again the acting is top tier. The social commentary is well done and is subtle for the most part. The first hour and half was enjoyable and it sort of drags itself to the end after that.
I'd recommend it though and it feels great to actually a film that has some love behind its film making.
