The Spike Lee fans on IMDB are in a tizzy. Spike apparently isn't allowed to make anything that doesn't top his last film . Okay, this one doesn't do that. But that doesn't make it a bad film. It's a treasure hunt with a bunch of "grumpy old men". And it does seem somewhat unlikely in spots, but who knows for sure? Few of us have been trekking in the Vietnamese jungle. Delroy's MAGA character was somewhat extreme, but this is Spike after all; he's hardly a moderate. The film is a good watch, a bit long perhaps, but still engaging. Excellent work from a skilled cast and crew. In short, this film probably might have been less vociferously received had it been the work of someone less iconic.
