The actors in this are phenomenally good, i just felt the story lacked something but may I just couldn't identify with it enough as its a serious topic it covers. Powerful stuff though and insane talent.
It’s sprawling and ambitious and the movie just goes for it. It’s truly underrated and wears it’s influences on it’s sleeve.
Overall I thought the story was pretty well done. I had seen this movie a long time ago and some of scenes had still stuck in memory.
Since I have seen this film I cannot stop thinking about it and I agree with the other reviews that this is a must-see film as it talks about some really relevant things. First I need to talk about the actors, this film has some Oscar-worthy performances and I never thought I would say that about a film with this premise but Larenz Tate (Anthony Curtis) who I really wish became more famous because every time I see him in a film he steals the show and he plays this war-damaged man who is just desperate so perfectly and though the film has lots of other great performances I have to give credit to Chris Tucker (Skip) who actually gives an emotionally charged performance that makes you genuinely feel for him. What I need to say now is do not expect an action film, this is actually a film that is technically about PTSD and also how a lot of people (especially ethnic minorities) were treated during and after the Vietnam war and it truly gives a unique perspective as there aren't that many films that revolve around black characters in the Vietnam war and that makes this film unique. I don't wanna give too much away so all I will say is give this film a watch and just be ready for a truly unique viewing experience.
