...it's too self-indulgent. I get having the arc of him becoming Malcolm X, but everything before that just felt weird and weak. Once he becomes Malcolm X, it's phenomenal, and Denzel crushes that role as of course he would, but the early portion always dragged it down for me. Though it has been years since I've watched it.

How do you know a man's serious about basketball? Let him out of prison and he goes right to get the new Jordans
Only watched it once and didn't like it. Been meaning to check it out again for years, especially since over time more and more people talk about how underrated it is.
25th Hour isn’t a ‘masterpiece’ but I really enjoyed it because it was so much different than Lee’s previous work.
Inside Man was really good. A lot of people had no idea Spike Lee directed that movie
