I'm blown away at how disappointed I was when I finally got to watch this one via Netflix. I'll say it out front: it's incoherent. Sure, the sets and people look good. I especially like the edges on the silly spears the female troops use, but all that production value is tossed aside if not hitched to a comprehensible plot. Here, I am now halfway through the flick and have only the vaguest idea of what's going on.

I'll give it another go this evening. I'm unsure if I'll start it again or continue from where I am in hopes something pulls things together for me. I understand the high ratings on this bomb. I too enjoy finally seeing black actors behave like humans instead of caricatures but surely it can be done in a better constructed vehicle.
