User Reviews
A Spike Lee Joint. Those familiar with his work will recognize his trademark style mixed with homage from some of the most brilliant war films of all time. Thats not to say Spike Lee rips anyone off, but instead incorporates themes and elements from some all time classics (no need to list references here). The film is incredibly relevant in these times, and can be a difficult watch, but a necessary one. Spike's film can seem disjointed at times but in an incredibly artistic way. Not everyone will appreciate this. I could go on and on about the brilliant oscar worthy performances of the actors, but let's be honest, you're either gonna watch this or not. Watch This.
