‘Da 5 Bloods’ review: Spike Lee’s gutsy Vietnam film has year’s best acting

the Oscar winner has four black men in their sixties meet up for a happy present-day reunion at a hotel in Ho Chi Minh City.The buds — called the “Bloods” — are back to their former battlefield, we learn, to retrieve the remains of the fifth “Blood,” Stormin’ Norman (“Black Panther” star Chadwick Boseman, in flashback).So, this must be Lee’s reckoning-with-’Nam film, you think. Movies about older men confronting the ghosts of that disastrous war is a popular club, with “The Last Full Measure” and Richard Linklater’s “Last Flag Flying” among the most recent members.But “Da 5 Bloods” is not some misty-eyed heart-tugger with Bob Dylan crooning in the background.

It's a big swing at 156 minutes; bold and bloody and rife with characters that are justifiably knotted with paradoxes.
