A good movie

You can say whatever you want about Spike Lee but there was a time that the guy was the best African-American director and even one of the best American directors around. Indeed, at the end of the 80’s, he made ‘Do the Right Thing’ which was rightfully acclaimed when it was released and pretty much became his magnum-opus and the expectations were pretty high with this follow-up. Eventually, it didn’t turn out to be a masterpiece but I thought it was still fairly enjoyable. Eventually, it will be mostly remembered as being the first movie for which Spike Lee would work with Denzel Washington but also with Wesley Snipes. Indeed, it seems hard to believe but Snipes started up first with such dramas and comedies and it is only later on in his career that he would start focusing only on action flicks. Concerning Denzel Washington, the guy just had his breakthrough with ‘Glory’ and he will eventually have a really impressive career becoming one of the most loved and respected American actors at work nowadays.To conclude, even though it seemed at first to be a minor effort, it turned out to be a decent movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Spike Lee’s work.
