When was the last time that Spike Lee has made something really worthwhile? I guess, it was already 10 years ago with ‘Inside Man’ and all his movies since then have been some critical and commercial failures. It’s too bad because I always had a weak spot for this director. On the other hand, I have to admit that all his early movies were not always some real home-runs and this movie is a pe... read more

Elokuvat 2020 (530 movies items)

"Viehättävän melodramaattinen Spike Lee elokuva rotujenvälisestä rakkaudesta on juuri sitä mitä odottaakin sen olevan. Kaikki hahmot ovat enemmän tai vähemmän rasisminsa vankeja ja hyvä musiikki pauhaa New Yorkin kaduilla. Hieman ylipitkään elokuvaan hupia tuo laaja näyttelijäkaarti; sivuosissa pyörivät mm: Brad Dourif, Anthony Quinn ja Frank Vincent. Elokuvan uskomattomat viimeiset 30 sekuntia saavat minulta 666/5."
