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

John Daniel Tangalin

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

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.

If only the movie followed Paul, ikt could be a great story. Now it looks like some scrapes of this and That. Actors were good, screenplay sadly very bad. To much political black lifes matter etc. If Spike Lee made just a good movie it would reach much more people than this ...

Great film. Don't know how you couldn't like this. Action, drama, history, adventure, comedy. Implemented seemlessly
