I really wanted to like this one, but...

Rating: 1/10 (12 June 2020)

I can't remember the last time it was this difficult to power through a movie. Or the last time I felt this let down after having watched one. After the first few minutes it was obvious that it wasn't going to be great, but man, I didn't expect it to be this awful.
To sum it up: Da 5 Bloods is horribly written, badly filmed and poorly edited. Bundled with the over-the-top acting, this film is what we'd get if a bunch of 12-year-olds with ADHD got to make a movie without any parental supervision. It's messy, amateurish and confusing as hell.

Hey, let's throw in this ludicrous thing that is in no way connected to the other stuff!
Hell yes!
Let's also make the characters so unlikeable that nobody will care if one of them dies!
Sounds like a plan!

This movie lightly brushes against many important topics in black history. Unfortunately they are completely disconnected from the main story (if there was one). Maybe next time Spike will choose one of those topics and make a dedicated movie about that.
