	Review: Dead Presidents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Although Dead Presidents isn't as intense or wrenching as the Hughes Brothers' debut feature, Menace II Society, the scope is different.
		Dead Presidents is also somewhat different from most of the vast number of cinematic Vietnam experiences because its focus is on how the overseas trauma contributes to the reconstruction of a man's character.
		Dead Presidents isn't awash in originality, but its fl perspective hasn't yet been overdone, and the Hughes Brothers' add their unique imprint to the narrative.

		In "Dead Presidents," the Hughes brothers may want to indict the white power elite that sends fl men off to do their fighting for them and then gives them nothing in return.

		For one thing, “I've also felt “Dead Presidents” was misrepresented to the public as a heist picture (like Steve McQueen's “Getaway.”) and I don't want to affirm that impression.

		Dead Presidents, their follow-up film, goes beyond their direct experience to speak of Vietnam and the trauma of readjustment.
		Seduced by a chance for money (dead presidents) and respect, the vets -- faces painted white -- rob an armored car.
		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.
