No stereotype left behind

Rating: 2/10 (14 June 2020)

Spike Lee has never been considered to be a good film maker , rather more of an activist, yet this movie is still a bit too much .
Too shallow, too poorly filmed, acted and edited .
Cheaply made and corny, and let's just not mention the writing .
What we have here is a succession of stereotypical scenes, in which stereotypical characters do stereotypical things , in a stereotypical fashion .
A hamfisted attempt at racial significance has been made and is duly noted , it just doesn't fool anyone .
As a matter of fact, the actors never manage to go beyond a silly caricature of what they are supposed to portray ; which is highlighted by a script that couldn't be less credible or more disserving to the cause it pretends to be about .
