Some people think Spike Lee fell off somewhere after 25th Hour, but the truth is he never really lost his edge. He may have picked bad projects, sure (we’ll just forget about the Oldboy remake), but as soon as Chi-Raq and BlacKkKlansman hit, people remembered what the Do the Right Thing creator was really capable of. Given the raw ambition of Da 5 Bloods, I’d say he surpassed his recent resurgent efforts.

Da 5 Bloods is fascinating for multiple reasons. It’s not only relevant, with myriad important things to say, but it also has a mystery element to keep people on the edge of their seats. As our heroes make a literal return to the Heart of Darkness to recover their missing “fifth” squadmate (and a bit of gold), the entire tone shifts (as Vietnam war movies tend to do).

Final Thoughts:

Spike Lee succeeds in giving us a multifaceted mystery that’s both standalone and chillingly relevant.
