Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe five "Bloods" seen throughout the movie in present-day scenes are named Paul, Melvin, Otis, Eddie, and David. These are also the individual names of the five members of African American vocal group The Temptations. Their fallen "Blood", who was the leader and inspiration for the others during their days in the Vietnam War, was named Norman. Songwriter Norman Whitfield produced virtually all of The Temptations' music during their time at Motown Records during the '60s and '70s.
- GoofsThe amount of gold in their backpacks is much too heavy to be carried and tossed around as shown in the movie.

Featured review
Maybe just not be rated...
Whoa....this was a hell of a ride!
Now, if you are expecting Da 5 Bloods to be a movie in the sense of a story with a beginning, a middle and an end, it might not work for you.
I am not sure myself it worked for me but I didn't feel like I could just ignore it either.
This is like a pile of political, emotional and historical statements not necessarily linked in one single bundle. At times it ends up being a Tarantino-like mess, but with relevance.
It is surely timely, it is heavily politically loaded, it is emotional and intense, angered but also ironical and lighthearted at moments.
Maybe not to be judged, let alone rated, but just to be absorbed.
