A more in depth study of the African-Americans who served in Vietnam.

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2020)

Director Spike Lee's latest offering focusing on four Black Americans who served in Vietnam. They return to find a hidden treasure of a fallen soldier (Chadwick Boseman), whom they fought with in South East Asia. I must say that this film is not one of Lee's best but the performances are great especially Delroy Lindo, who has to confront his demons. It's not a good experience for all of them. As in this time of the Trump Age, racial tensions and the Covid, it does point out that we have alot to do and a long way to go in the 21st century. We have a long way to go. As well for the other veterans (Clarke Peters, Jonathan Majors and Norm Lewis) They're willing to risk anything to recover the hidden treasure. It's fight for survival. Great cinematography with Lee appreciating Francis Ford Coppola's Vietnam epic. Apocalypse Now (1979) and you do see it. With using Marvin Gaye tracks from his "What's going on?" album, you can relate as you view the film. To conclude this, I do like this film though are few flaws. But it's very entertaining but from a Black perspective.
My rating: 7.5
