Film - Da 5 Bloods

The story of 4 Vietnam veterans who in the modern-day go back to the country to find the body of their lost friend and leader and some hidden treasure.

Much is made of the treasure they had found in a crashed CIA plane but not much the of the remains of their friend Stormin’ Norman so we sense this is the true mission.

Unfortunately, they seem to trust all the wrong people in their dealings, which I find surprising given they are for grown men. Surely one of them has the be the savvy one?  Surely the right thing to do is trust no one, even the guide they hire. Its unclear why anyone else needed to know about such a huge haul and I’m left wondering why there will be a lot less going wrong if they had kept their secret to themselves.

What we’re left with is a series of mishaps which would be funny if it wasn’t so tragic.
