Catalog of Netflix

Within Netflix's catalog, we can find endless successful films that have captured the attention of viewers. Among them, we have found a dramatic movie that has been praised by the 'Master of Terror', Stephen King, and has positioned itself as one of his favorites.

It has become common for the horror writer to give his recommendations through his official Twitter account, and this time was no exception with "Da 5 Bloods", a film directed by Spike Lee. "This movie is fabulous, for all kinds of reasons. Right movie, right time," wrote the author of "Pet Sematary".

The most striking thing about this war drama released in 2020 is that it addresses a historical event portrayed from a different perspective. The film revolves around a group of black soldiers who form a friendship during the Vietnam War and end up hiding a chest full of gold they had been guarding for the CIA.

They planned that when the war was over, they could use that treasure to reward the families of black soldiers who had died in the armed struggle. However, due to a military attack, the signals they put up to find the gold are lost, along with the hope of finding it. Everything changes when they find wreckage of a plane that the men recognize and that can lead them to the coveted chest.

The 154-minute film has captivated critics not only for its original plot but also for the outstanding performances of the protagonists who bring the war friends and the rest of the cast to life.
