The incredible Denzel strikes again!

Rating: Null/10 (27 February 2005)

I brought this film from ebay a couple of months ago as you can never find it anywhere in England. Iwatch it and i thought it was an abslute perfection from the amazing Spike Lee and far superior to a lot of his other movies at the time. I like this Lee film in particular though because it is more character driven and has more emotion to most of Lee's films. Denzel Washington has again proved he is one of the all time greatest living actors with his strong performance as Jake Shuttlesworth who makes friends in the film with a prostitute (beautifully played by Milla Jovovich). But what also surprises me about this film is the fact that the main character Jesus Shuttlesworth played by Ray Allen is not even an actor! Yet his performance is extraordinary in this is one of the best i've seen in any Spike Lee film just after Denzel's in Malcolm x and Edward Norton's in 25th Hour. All in all the stylish story, acting,cinematography and the mastery of Lee's directing this is one of my instant Spike LEE classics. Ten out of ten.
