"Unabashedly epic, fearlessly funny, and proudly Black, HIGHEST 2 LOWEST might derive from a Japanese filmmaker. But its soul clearly resides in Lee." - Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
"It’s got a terrific throb of energy and life, moving across the screen with the rangy grace of its superstar Denzel Washington." - Peter Bradshaw, Guardian
Coming soon | When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the “best ears in the business”, is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. Brothers Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the 5th in their long working relationship for a reinterpretation of the great filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller High and Low, now played out on the mean streets of modern day New York City.
