It is all about politics

Rating: 9/10 (25 March 2006)

This is a really Spike Lee Joint, as said in the credits, and also a 40 Mules and an Acre production, as also said in the final credits.
In my opinion, it's not so emotional as the 25th Hour and does not have the acidic humor of Bamboozeled but is still a very good picture.
Under a mainstream and blockbuster image, this is really about a vengeance that I would said is executed by the four robbers, leaded by Owen's character along with the Rabbi's character, to unveil Plummer's participation in obscure business with the Nazis, 60 years ago! They do want both the diamonds and the documents! Lee takes the opportunity to comment as always about prejudices, racial issues, (latino, Arabs and afro-Americans),and this is really a new yorker point of vue.
Best quote is during the Sikh's character police hearing: " I am Sikh, not Arab!" Answer: " So you shouldn't have difficulty to find a cab in NYC"
All actors are very good, soundtrack excellent and director of photography has done an outstanding job!
