Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Like those overreaching sophomore term papers we can all laugh at now, this disappointing film may free the Hughes brothers to move on to fresher, more inspired work.
Rotten: What emerges is an uneasy blend of didacticism and juiced-up bloodletting (the brothers don't know when to stop with the exploding squibs) that bury the film's message and its good intentions.
Fresh: Messy but mesmerizing.
Fresh: Dead Presidents may eventually box itself into a narrative dead end, but its muscular engagement of weighty themes and explosive situations makes it a powerful drama.
Customer Reviews
Most truthful
This is the best movie that depicts the lives of African-American people who got treated like crap after being made to go fight a war that was a personal vendetta for some but not for all this movie shows how we as a people where used & abused with no regards as being Americans or for that matter humans I truly love this movie Thanks Hughes Bros.
Great movie overall.
Great movie overall. Would like to get into details, but can't at the moment.
Needs to be in your collection
Can't wait for this movies to be for sale. Hope that they will offer HD and not SD. Good storyline with a bunch of good actors.
