    I enjoyed watching this. 'Da 5 Bloods' is very good, it kept me watching with interest from beginning to end. The cinematography is tremendous, there are many great looking scenes in this; the whole look of the film is top notch. The run time could've perhaps been shorter, but most war films tend to go on for a while to be honest. I will say that I didn't enjoy the start and end as much I did the middle, but there's still enough in there. I would also agree that some of the real life imagery used is unnecessary. The cast are excellent. Delroy Lindo is, for me, the star of the 156 minutes. He gives an outstanding performance as Paul, one I won't be forgetting any time soon. It's always a pleasure to see Chadwick Boseman (Norman), while Clarke Peters (Otis), Norm Lewis (Eddie) and Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Melvin) are all likeable in their respective roles. I unquestionably, with zero doubt, like those four in the lead roles, but man the original cast list would've been absolutely incredible. Could you imagine Samuel L. Jackson, Denzel Washington, Giancarlo Esposito and John David Washington in this?! Gutted it didn't happen, can't lie. Not a perfect film, but one I certainly felt entertained by.

    Ok, so a team of old African American soldiers decide to return to Vietnam to find the body of their colleague who was killed in action - and to retrieve some $17m worth of gold bars. En route they have to face some personal demons; an old girlfriend and the locals who have their own plans... It's not dreadful, but it certainly could not be described as Spike Lee anywhere near his best. The gang do emanate some sense of comradeship and loyalty, but in such a gung-ho fashion as to render the whole thing little better than a run-of-the mill Nicolas Cage style shoot 'em up effort with a really rather episodic and inevitable structure and a storyline remarkably indifferent to the indigenous population. Two and half hours is far too long, to. Looks great, though but sorry, more miss than hit for me.
