Andrew Hicks Spike Lee strikes again, with another story of trouble in the hood.
Strike is a clocker.
No, he doesn't manufacture timepieces, he does something infinitely more illegal, selling crack. Strike isn't just protected by his brother, he also has an older cop named Andre looking out for him. These cuffs is tight. Yes, it sounds every bit as corny in the movie as it does on paper, but I can forgive the occasional lapse in good drama the same way I can forgive the speech every character eventually gives, from clockers Strike and Rodney to cops Andre and Harvey Keitel, who plays the homicide detective convinced Victor is covering up for his brother. Keitel and John Turturro, who is mostly kept in the background as Keitel's partner, are the token white guys in the movie.
