Denzel and Jeffery carried the whole thing, everyone else was just a prop for them to bounce their lines off of. Spike projecting himself in the writing reveals how washed he is in that department. Visually he still got it tho, the whole movie looks amazing! Wonder what he could cook up if he collaborated with a Jordan peele or Ryan coogler, just keep his ass outta the writing room and have him only handle direction.

He didn’t write the movie either

the only thing that's similar is at some point a kid gets snatched in NYC

Which is the whole damn movie:mjtf:


Man tried to black and white this thing.

That type of thinking and discussion is why Spike stays making movies and no one checks him over the trash he puts out. I thank God for Coogler and Peele because they know what they are doing.

Thank you Spike for your contributions but at this point Tyler Perry makes better films.

You goddamn right I did :mjtf:


Because y’all standards for cac directed movies and black directed movies are NOT EQUAL.

This was no different to the 90’s thrillers y’all grew up watching.

And For you to insinuate this was on the level of a T Perry flick, you either trolling or Anti Spike Lee

The foot chase of the cac cop in timbs running down the stairs like he got on high heels :mjlol: …know dude has never worn timbs a day in his life.

The text Jeffrey sent to go contact “Who dis nikka iz?”:dahell:

The horrific music choices

nikka nikka nikka nikka

The forced “signatures” in the scenes like the dolly ride just to put it in

The ass run time

Got dammit spike…:ufdup:

The detective was on the balcony talking to no one while on a dolly :mjlol:

Spike couldn't just do that shot while a character was waking down the street or when Denzel was walking through the office?

The way he did it felt like a parody.

Whoever it was, you could tell they were a bourgeois new Black with all the shyt like Ebony alerts, look on Black twitter and media takeout

A lot of over explaining

Power had better writing

If Ghost and Tommy did the kidnapping I would've believed it more. You can't have an elaborate scheme like that and then show the brains of the operation was a regular street dude who doesn't seem the least bit bright.

:mjlol: and :mjcry: at the same time. I guess we all must get washed at some point. Even the heroes.

They gotta learn how to better use these icons in their 70s. You can’t have Denzel on a foot chase or Deniro beating someone up ath their very big ages.

Spike's aerial / wide-angle shots:fire: took me back to when I used to be in awe of his scenery:wow:

...Jeffery Wright embodies any role given to him:myman:

However, The GOAT was a bit jittery and Young Felon was just playing himself:lupe:
