a beautiful, well shot, and acted cinematic masterpiece.

Rating: Null/10 (1 October 2002)

I think this is one of my favourite films. The acting is superb, Denzel Washington shines in his role as Jake Shuttlesworth, and Ray Allen is also pretty good as Jesus. As well as the smart acting there is a powerful script and storyline, i wont say the story because its probably already been said in other reviews, but the characters are believable and original.
The music is another good point for this film, the songs done by public enemy really add to the feel of the film and the title song "he got game" is a brilliant track.
My favourite aspect of this film is Spike Lee's use of the camera, his slow pans around and smooth camera movements with no cuts are really good, this film contains some of the best shots i've seen and are really inspiring.Especially the scene when Jake is in the park hugging his wife's grave.
My main criticism of this film is the ending, the film was believable and real all the way through but the ending was a big letdown, my other criticism is that it is a bit too long and can lose the audiences attention by being a bit boring.
But overall this is a great film by one of Hollywood's best directors, and this film should have got more praise than it got, especially Denzel's performance.
