Good in parts but doesn't hang together

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2020)

There's some good stuff here, some good scenes of atmosphere and tension and some exploration of PTSD (although nothing that hasn't been said about Nam before). But overall the film is unfocused and the story doesn't hang together well. Most of the characters feel unreal and lacking something. There's also a weird, mischievous tone to the violence - Tarantino-esque - which jars with the more serious subject matter. A weird one, all told. If you're expecting something like BlackkKlansman, you'll probably be disappointed. Try to go in without those expectations and you might be entertained.
