a5c7b9f00b A Vietnam vet adjusts to life after the war while trying to support his family, but the chance of a better life may involve crime and bloodshed. This action film, directed by the Hughes brothers, depicts a heist of old bills, retired from circulation and destined by the government to be &quot;money to burn.&quot; However, more broadly, it addresses the issues of Black Americans&#39; involvement in the Vietnam War and their subsequent disillusionment with progress in social issues and civil rights back home in the United States, during the 1960&#39;s. This to me is my favorite movie. Literally #1 on my list. This movie is so real and so true. My favorite Actors are in this movie, Chris Tucker and Larenz Tate. This Soundtrack is the best I ever heard. This story is true, Life was like this for Vietnam Veterans when they came back from Vietnam. I totally recommend this and I think Terrific is an insult to grade this<br/><br/>10+++/10 … that the Hughes Bros. apologized for this film because they thought they messed it or something. They didn&#39;t. The film shows a familiar trail: innocence of friendship before Vietnam, the war itself, and then the return home from war where you were once rewarded for killing and now you&#39;re trapped barely making ends meet with a family to support.<br/><br/>Larenz Tate, whose character was full of hate in &quot;Menance II Society&quot;, here shows how a good kid can turn into a bad man and shows me, which is very important, why he changed into a criminal. For me, O-Dogg was a modern day Clockwork Orange. That was fine for Menance because it was a shot of gangsta energy from debut directors. Anthony Curtis&#39; story is more textured and proves Tate can tone down anger to show the humanity behind it.<br/><br/>&#39;No Viet Cong called me a n––r,&quot; M. Ali said. And here, in this film, I can see through the H. brothers&#39; direction and Tate&#39;s acting, performance a strong argument againist why anyone, especially, the black man (and woman) got screwed over in Vietnam to support Ali&#39;s statement.<br/><br/>I&#39;m rambling, but see it for yourselfan edit changes Curtis from running home over fences to a solider running over the Vietnam jungle, and then latera pimp, who has being doing Curtis&#39; wife, pushes him down the stairs. In the 80&#39;s movies, Rambo was a hermit with a lot of anger. Curtis lived in a much more real world, and would have done what Curtis did.
