Da 5 Bloods (2020)
2/10
A schematic yawn
14 June 2020
I love Spike Lee. Do The Right Thing? Jungle Fever? Inside Job? BlackKlansman? As good as movies get. This one? What wasn't expositional was didactic. Every conclusion was foregone. Great actors giving broad, expositional, didactic performances.I felt like I was doing homework. To be honest, we only lasted twenty minutes, so maybe it turned into a masterpiece the second we changed the channel. Which is not to say I won't be the first in line for the next Spike Lee Joint. He's a great artist, and when great artist miss big it's because they swung big.
