Highest 2 Lowest
When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the “best ears in the business”, is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. Brothers Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the 5th in their long working relationship for a reinterpretation of the great filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller High and Low, now played out on the mean streets of modern-day New York City.
Dir. Spike Lee / 2025 / US / 133 min
“Unabashedly epic, fearlessly funny, and proudly Black, Highest 2 Lowest might derive from a Japanese filmmaker. But its soul clearly resides in Lee.” – Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
“[Lee] plays it to perfection, delivering a big, highly polished chunk of movie that’s pure enjoyment.” – David Rooney, Hollywood Reporter
“Highest 2 Lowest finds Lee both defiant of his age and proud of it, seizing our attention with the friendly insistence of someone with still so much left to tell us.” – Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair
