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

Robbie Collin

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

Associated Press

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

The Cinema Spot

The film is racially diverse with its cast of Black male characters, Vietnamese characters, and French characters. There are some moments of darkness and poignance, but they tend to be balanced with some light comedy and high-spirits.

Rated: 10/10

Da 5 Bloods is an action/adventure picture for sure, but like the best of Spike Lee films it’s one that revels and savagely critiques its genre trappings and inspirations, never losing sight of its own ambitions and fierce moral codes.

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.

Rated: 5/5

After 1/3 of the movie it totally changed its tone and tried very hard to connect to many topics and characters. Lot of Dialoge seamed improv. But Not in a good way. Good actors though. What a waste.

I was very excited immediately disappointed, the action scene LOW budget, Reminisce parts? If Chadwick(peace) wasn't in scene would've never known time line. Spike couldn't hire Ai specialist to CGI their age? WHT WAS THAT? CIA Couldn't find that gold but umm yea they um yeah no. But aside from that for Spikes to pull a LOW BUDGET like this? Money grab.. I don't normally write reviews, just soooo upset N disappointed

This was so bad I couldn't even finish it. I have no idea what Spike Lee was thinking or striving for here, but it just did not work.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Awful. Over wrought. Delroy over acting again. Dumb dialogue. Ridiculous random convenient plot twists. Friend blows up and they’re joking again soon enough. Why are the mine detection trio tied up? All the fawning reviews, impossible to understand.
