 Rating:  - Good Crime Drama With a Twist! Spike Lee is a classic African-American New York based film maker. This is one of the best movies he's made and quite gripping. A young drug dealer is having trouble after his good brother is arrested for a crime the drug dealer is believed to have committed. A cop who is concerned about an innocent man going to jail keeps up the pressure on the drug dealer to confess, but there is also pressure from his drug lord to keep what he knows to himself. It isn't clear if the drug dealing brother did ... Read More Rating:  - Delroy Lindo and Harvey Keitel ShineI like this movie. Delroy Lindo is one of the underrated talents in movies today. Harvey Keitel is really good in this too. I think this is a good story and worth a look. The only complaint is that it stinks of Spike Lee and his style.

In the Northeast, people are tightly packed into high-rise projects or row homes. They co-exist with different ethnic groups, all struggling to make it out. Spike Lee does a great job collaborating with author ... Read More Rating:  - Average Spike Lee dramaWow.. to start with I had to turn on English subtitles to watch this movie in English. Even then it was hard to puzzle out what was said in this film half the time. I'm not a big fan of Spike Lee films - they're too stereotypical and portray people in a negative light. 'Clockers' could have been a gripping detective story while also exposing the drugs and violence which black youths find it so hard to escape from. But that isn't enough for Lee who stuffs his film with so many half-developed ideas ... Read More
