Trivia
This was Chadwick Boseman's final film to be released in his lifetime. He has one other Netflix film to be released later in 2020: Le Blues de Ma Rainey (2020). Chadwick worked on both films while undergoing treatment for the colon cancer that ended his life.

Goofs
The amount of gold in their backpacks is much too heavy to be carried and tossed around as shown in the movie.

Da Mess; Da Length; Da Lack of Judicious Editing

Seems Spike Lee has caught the George Lucas disease regarding pruning back an out-of-control bush of a movie. You have a couple of main themes in this very preachy but often action-packed movie about Vietnam War Vets trying to reconcile their pasts and improve their lots in life. But there's like three-movies-in-one here and Spike Lee seems to have fired the editor who should have removed 30 minutes of drag from this often dramatic effort. Interesting but overly long, sentimental in bizarre places, preachy nearly beyond redemption.
