One of Spike Lee's Best

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2019)

A police buddy movie reminiscent of a Starsky & Hutch 1970s aesthetic, compete with rolling musical backtrack, discotheque moments, high gloss vehicles, and signature struts.
Although one is lulled into a false sense of security caused by the satirical shenanigans of Spike Lee's off-kilter humour, the closing scenes are masterful in bringing his (Lee's) message across. The real-life documentary footage to bookend the closing scenes provides a startling look into the racial tensions so prevalent in the US today.
