"Sloppy and all over the place" ~ my Daughter/

Rating: 1/10 (13 June 2020)

Spike has missed the boat again with this one! So, so bad. I write this as I'm two hours in, thoroughly convinced that it ain't getting any better. Poor script; in fact, an utterly empty script that does no justice to the real "Bloods" who lost their lives or left the best of their lives in the jungles of Vietnam. If I were to meet him, I'd ask, "Why, Spike. Just why?" The script is, again, so poorly written; it meanders and fails to ever find its focus and aim, engendering no reason to invest in the story nor the characters therein. The cast members are all great talents. However, they are tragically, criminally, wasted here. I was bored, my family too, by the thirty-minute mark, and it managed to even go further down hill from there. An utter waste of time. There is nothing, nothing redeeming about this disaster of a thrown-together film. Implausible and uninspired, it is, and I say all this as I true Spike Lee fan. Please, please, do yourself a favor and avoid this god-awful film! PLEASE! LIFE IS TOO SHORT!
