Da 5 Bloods is quite some undertaking. By and large Lee succeeds, even if along the way the story hits some cul-de-sacs...

Daily Telegraph (UK)

From its sweeping jungle vistas to its full-fat orchestral score from Terence Blanchard, Da 5 Bloods often feels like an old-fashioned Hollywood adventure. But reality keeps pushing its way through in ways that can't be ignored.

Rated: 4/5

By the end, you'll be spent, dazed, perhaps even confused - but stunned, too, at the audacity of it all and the feeling that it is, so unequivocally, the right movie at the right time.

Rated: 3.5/4

It’s the second masterpiece from a great American poet in just two years, and one of the best films about The American War ever made.

Spike Lee has done it yet again. The man has made a lot of great movies and this is top tier Spike. He clearly trusts his actors completely and it shows in the performances here.

It's definitely not for everyone and it does miss a few important movie beats. But 'Da 5 Bloods' is still an excellent film with great performances and tense moments.

Is this an important movie and did this movies story need to be told - 100%. Was this movie for me, no, not really. I enjoyed parts of it and the sum of the parts worked but some of those parts felt like they took away from the flow of the movie to preach to you instead of letting the story do the preaching. I think Spike Lee is a fantastic director and Delroy Lindo gave a masterful performance but the first half of the movie dragged a bit and the preaching took away from the flow and so it felt longer but that last hour or so were fantastic

It was a good story but I don't think spike lee realized what he did to my dad when we watched that,my dad is a social worker he works down town cincinnati and when my dad saw that stilled image of that dead kid in the middle of the movie it effected my dad's ptsd the ironic thing is that the movie had topics of Ptsd but spike lee didn't consider what his viewers have went through, also want to point out that he didn't worn us there where going to be that kinda imagery because it made me stop watching the movie because it made me disturbed and lost interest in the story and it made my dad upset because he experienced something so similar

Great topic and concept and actors were elite. Characters development were lacking, and the plot and dialogues were subpar to abysmal. I'm a fan of Spike Lee but this is one of his worst works.
