There's an awful lot to like about Spike Lee's newest film, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST. Unfortunately, there's also a lot to dislike about it. Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright are spectacular -- especially when they're on the screen together -- but A$AP Rocky might've been a casting misstep. So let's talk about it...

This week on Black on Black Cinema, the crew returns to announce the next film to be reviewed, Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest" starring Denzel Washington, and Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky. The film follows a titan music mogul who is targeted with a ransom plot, causing him to be jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. The random topic this week is about the recent public killing of rightwing hatemonger Charlie Kirk in front of thousands of college students in Utah. At the time of this recording, the suspected shooter (Tyler Robinson, 22, white male) had not be apprehended by the FBI.
In this episode, we review the 2025 American neo-noir crime thriller film directed by Spike Lee, starring Denzel Washington, Ilfenesh Hadera, Jeffrey Wright, ASAP Rocky, and Ice Spice (in her film debut). We discuss whether this English-language reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's 1963 Japanese film High and Low was a successful attempt by Spike Lee, and we debate if Lee and Washington are the best director/actor combination of the last 35 years.

We dig into the big themes: legacy vs. family, pride vs. responsibility, good money vs. bad money, class lines, and how social media warps reputation. From David King's label chess moves and AI-era music debates, to fatherhood, friendship, and that ransom twist that flips the whole story on its head—yeah, we talk about it. Jeffrey Wright cooks, Denzel still different at 70, and we even argue where this sits among the Lee/Washington classics (Mo' Better Blues, Malcolm X, He Got Game, Inside Man).Tap in, laugh with us, disagree with us, and rank the Spike–Denzel five with your own top-five in the comments. Thanks to every Patron rocking with us—y'all keep the culture moving.
