would be a masterpiece if it wasn't for literally the worst ending i've ever witnessed
Logan KennyApr 30, 2020i find spike's style incredibly fun and watchable (same with many of the performances he gets out of his cast) even when his writing is as messy and sometimes plain reductive/stupid as it can be here. i heard about the infamous final shot for years and somehow still had my…

Riley - Feb 3, 2022
Action! - Spike The Power, Lee The Riot' Arguably one of the most hysterical endings ever. Although, if you think about it, it fits in well with the melodramatic and sometimes almost PSA-like tone. As a romantic comedy directed by Spike Lee about an interracial love…

silos1 aka FrancescoAug 18, 2018Better than Crash, but definitely Spike Lee’s most Crash-like movie. Spent the whole movie excitedly waiting for the notorious Final Shot. It didn’t disappoint.
Will SloanAug 20, 2025One of Spike Lee’s weakest when it comes to writing; flat, ordinary, and all over the place. His take on relationships defined by racial differences has aged like milk. Samuel L. Jackson still delivers one of his best performances, and Wesley Snipes is great too, specially…
