I was dragged, kicking and screaming, to see "Miracle At St. Anna"! This was the Spike Lee movie based on a true story about a man, in 1983, that shot and killed a man in the Post Office. While investigating the shooter, police searched his apartment and found a missing Italian artifact worth millions of dollars. The movie goes back to the Buffalo Soldiers and why this man came to shoot and kill the man in the Post Office. It was a bit long but, overall, it was an OKAY movie. It starred Laz Alonso, Derek Luke, Michael Ealy and Omar Benson Miller. I didn't like Laz Alonso in the lead role! I thought he overacted, at times. Derek Luke and Michael Ealy are better actors and their roles were insignificant. Either of the two could have played the lead with better results. If you like learning about the Buffalo Soldiers and their story, you'll love this movie! Lookout for the quick cameo of Michael K. Williams (Omar from "The Wire").
