The TVI Take
Spike Lee's 2020 Netflix film about four Black Vietnam War veterans returning to Vietnam decades later to recover their squad leader's remains and buried gold. The structural commitment to letting Black-Vietnam-veteran experience be the actual subject, at register American war cinema has rarely supported, is the film's distinctive achievement.
Delroy Lindo's Paul performance is rare leading-actor work in a Lee ensemble.
