It’s been 19 years since Denzel Washington last acted in a Spike Lee directed film, and the last time they did (Inside Man) it was one of Spike’s most acclaimed Joints. Now they return for their fifth collaboration, Highest 2 Lowest, a reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s 1963 classic film, High and Low.

Standing toe to toe with Denzel are Jeffrey Wright and A$AP Rocky in this love letter to New York City, hate letter to Boston, and all around bombastic crime story from one of the most unabashed and unique visionaries of our time.

Join Amarú, Nick, and Shak as they discuss the comparisons to the original, the action, that score, and a surprise standout performance.
