Da 5 points would be way too generous

Rating: 2/10 (17 June 2020)

If this film had been on TV I would have switched it off after 15 minutes and dismissed it as a terrible B film. The only reason I watched the whole thing was because it was by Spike Lee and I thought it must get better but sadly it doesn't, if anything it gets worse. The story is completely implausible and the acting awful. This had all the ingredients of a good adventure film with historical information to enlighten the viewer (the historical education was the reason I gave it a 2 and not a 1) but instead you got a film that didn't know what it was, I can't believe the writers could do such a bad job. How over half of the IMDB reviews give it 7 or more is beyond me, anyone giving it more than a 5 has either never seen a good film before or likes films that are so bad, you can actually laugh at its poor quality and enjoy it.
