Compelling, Quality Film-making (CAUTION- spoiler within)

Rating: 10/10 (26 March 2006)

All in all great film. Spike Lee navigates the waters of mainstream film-making and unique, quirky, innovative scripts with great ease. Perhaps the most smooth, enjoyable, thought-provoking, flawless Lee film I've yet seen. Jodie Foster is a stand-out. Only two slight flaws: (WARNING: SPOILER AHEAD)
1) Clive Owen's accent- woh there boy- are you American or British or Australian? Choose your nationality and stick with it- highly distracting. Not a sign of good acting here.
2) If Case was so ashamed of his dark past, why did he keep the HIGHLY INCRIMINATING paper document in the safety deposit box? Why didn't he just destroy it and keep the diamonds? It makes no sense.
