Give Delroy Lindo an Oscar nomination.
Honestly, the entire Da 5 Bloods ensemble is magnificent, but Lindo lucks into the juiciest role in Danny Bilson and Paul De Meo’s screenplay. He plays Paul, a proud conservative who voted for Trump, sports a MAGA hat during the jungle adventure, and hides countless skeletons in his closet. Paul almost serves as the group’s de facto leader, as their actual captain, “Stormin” Norman (Chadwick Boseman), died during combat.
