DollEyes June 17, 2020 Share June 17, 2020 (edited) Here's da thread for Da 5 Bloods, Spike Lee's latest joint, now playing on Netflix, about four African-American Vietnam war vets who are looking for a stash of gold that was hidden during the war, along with their fallen comrade, played in flashbacks by Chadwick Boseman. The film also co-stars Norm Lewis, Jonathan Majors, Clarke Peters and Isiah Whitlock Jr. ( both from The Wire), Jean Reno and Delroy Lindo, whose performance is a revelation, to say the least. If Lindo's not nominated for an Oscar, then the MPAA is even worse than ever, as far as I'm concerned. Edited June 18, 2020 by DollEyes 3 Link to comment

Delroy Lindo has long been underrated, but I thought he was amazing here. 2 Link to comment
Inquisitionist July 13, 2020 Share July 13, 2020 Watched the movie on Saturday night. I went in a tad skeptically, as several of my friends were kind of meh on it, but I liked it more than they did. It has the usual Spike Lee excesses, but I found the characters engrossing. Agree that Lindo is a stand-out, but I also love Clarke Peters' more understated performance -- he's so great in everything. 2 Link to comment
Kel Varnsen December 21, 2020 Share December 21, 2020 Watched this last night. It was good and Delroy Lindo was amazing, especially at the end when he was talking to himself/Norman and going crazy. That said the idea that these guys could carry backpacks full of gold bars really took me out of the movie. It reminded me of that Gold Case gameshow from 30 Rock. "Gold's really heavy, isn't it?" Also I wasn't really sure why the guys even told the French dealer guy where they were going if they didn't trust him. 1 Link to comment
