I learned about this
film upon seeing an interview with Spike Lee, who directed, wrote the screenplay
and produced the film along with Chiz Schultz. The concept and some of the
visuals seemed compelling to me. Once I got the chance to view the film I felt
Da sweet blood of Jesus lacked elements that I was expecting it to have being a
Spike Lee Joint. I assumed as director Spike would have shown more of his
artistic flare for cinema in presenting this film. The story in itself was a
definitely unique as it told the story of an affluent black male character that
became blood thirsty like a vampire in a bizarre turn of events. The set pieces
and staging of characters through out was very impressive, but again I was
hoping for something more from Da sweet blood of Jesus. I am sure with a second
viewing the film would become a bit more understandable, but at this point I
give it 3 stars for being able to keep me guessing revealing a story I may not
have predicted. This scoring also certifies Da sweet blood of Jesus as Netflix
& Chill worthy ...GO!!!
