Dead Presidents
Description
After the horrific Vietnam War, soldier Anthony Curtis returned to his home in the Bronx after his active participation in the war. Antony begins his life after the war in a state of total stagnation and miserable life for himself and his friends. Antony began his search for work to provide a good environment for him and his family. After many of the insults to which Antoine was subjected and after a great deal of desperation, Antony was introduced to Skeep, a drug addict and Kirby, a small crook who decided to start schemes that looked catastrophic. Antony and his new friends began planning a major theft of bank robbery. Robbery may be the only way out of poverty for Anthony and his friends.

Talent of Hughes brothers deserves viewer's attention even when their results don't meet such high standards.
January 26, 2006
There are intriguing aspects to this yarn, and the brothers can choreograph a scene, but you get the impression that they learned all they know from other movies, the blood and guts is gratuitous...

Unfortunately, the filmmakers were overzealous in trying to cover a variety of issues, leaving the story choppy and without resolution in places.
February 13, 2001
Made with fluid skill and a passion for storytelling, its tale of how the Vietnam War and American society affect a black Marine remains accessible while confounding expectations.
January 13, 2004
Excellent performances, a great soundtrack, and the Hughes' technical virtuosity make it worth a look.
January 31, 2009
The intense and excessive climactic set piece caper scene is the only true highlight in a superficial film.

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.
June 18, 2002
It's an overly ambitious effort that strains to work as a coming-of-age drama, a 1960s period piece and a searing comment on the way African American GIs went largely unappreciated for their war efforts.
June 20, 2006
Significant as both history and film art, this gloomy tale has no "convenient" villains and refuses to indulge in stereotypes, instead focusing on larger forces, such as racism and political apathy.
New York Times

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.

Platoon lite with a bitter ending that doesn't work in its favor...
Rolling Stone
May 12, 2001
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.
