Spike back in top form
Tremendous Spike Lee joint, the director is getting back to form. After the great Summer Of Sam, this Lee film is even better as the superb Norton plays a pusher about to start a stretch in prison, and saying his final farewells. Not knowing who betrayed him, suspicious of his girlfriend whom he suspects, his last night spent with her and his two very different friends makes his final night very tense. And Lee draws this tenseness out, so you could almost swallow it. Great backup performances too, especially from the consistant Seymour Hoffman and a very intelligent potrayal of the victimised girlfriend by Rosario Dawson. Get this out, you will be well rewarded.
