"Don't take this personally, Miss White, but you can kiss my black ass. "

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2006)

I have never been a Spike Lee fan. EVER! He comes across as arrogant and w/ air of self-importance that isn't appealing, but this film of his won me over so much I went to see it in the theater TWICE and that rarely, if ever, happens now-a-days! The thing about this caper-film is it has ALL the right ingredients: direction, writing, acting, stunts, musical score and, of course, LOCATION. New York City is a character in this drama as much as Foster's character or Owen's character. NYC is the face of fear, corruption, temptation, deliverance, and average, everyday, working human beings (ie.- the black kid, the Mayor, the barber, the Hindu, the Jewish woman, etc.) all colliding into one another because of simple, unabated greed! I could go on ... but do yourself a favor and watch this film yourself.
