This is one of my favorite Hughes brothers movies. I totally disagree with the previous review. Larenz Tate is such a wonderful actor who has not got enough credit from Hollywood. This movie told a moving story of how a young black man, who graduated from high school, went on to serve his country, came back home, and couldn't get a decent job. This could have been based on a true story, because, a lot of men went away to serve our beautiful country, and came back to nothing. Anthony (Larenz Tate)just did what he thought he had to do. The movie also shows that crime does not pay. This is a wonderful movie. I would also like to suggest all the Hughes brothers movies. These brothers tell a wonderful story.

I apreciate the fact that I could still purchase this movie at a great price; if it were not for Ebay and/or Ebay sellers, I probably would still be looking to purchase this DVD. Much thanks to Ebay for their great supply of items, no matter the age or style. My motto, "no one sells it, try Ebay"!

Different perspectiveDead Presidents presents the story of three good friends growing up in the Bronx during their senior year in high school. The Vietnam war is occuring during this as well and eventually the three end up fighting in Vietnam and each of them suffers various consequences. Returning home from war, each of them faces challenges that are difficult to overcome and they decide to steal money as a means of overcoming their challenges. They form a band of thieves, so to speak, who are friends and/or acquaintences.
Dead Presidents does an excellent job of portraying various issues that real life war veterans face: Employment difficulties, post-traumatic stress, nightmares and possible addictions. This movie contains a good amount of humor, suspense and drama. The soundtrack is excellent, especially for those who appreciate Motown music of old. This movie holds your interest from start to finish and brings to the forefront that not all situations facing young men are easy to confront.
