After nearly two decades apart, Spike Lee and Denzel Washington reunite in Highest 2 Lowest, a slick and provocative thriller that channels classic cinema through a distinctly modern, Black American lens. Blending art, music, and morality in a uniquely New York setting, Spike Lee reimagines Kurosawa’s revered High and Low with his signature swagger, and the result is impossible to ignore.
