| 06.13.20 | Netflix | A bunch of Viet Nam vets return to find the body of their old squad mate and the gold they buried with him. I wanted to like this, but did not. The flashback sequences were a problem for me. Many of them felt like they needed a larger budget, and using the same actors not even trying to be younger was an odd choice. And although it's good to see Delroy Lindo and he had a lot of weight on his shoulders for this one, many times he didn't quite get there for me. And while I'm as big a fan of The Wire as you could get, Isiah Whitlock saying 'sheeeeeeeeeeit' felt very forced. Really everything that happens once the guys get out in the jungle feels very forced. And the make-up appliance for what should've been a pretty horrific scene was laughable. I think I should've watched Blackkklansman instead. |
