Spike Lee's latest joint, Highest 2 Lowest, opens August 15 at The Main Cinema and stars longtime collaborator, the great Denzel Washington. Before their newest film drops, our series Spike & Denzel - 2 of a Kind presents three of the duo's finest collaborations on the big screen: Malcolm X (1990), Mo' Better Blues (1992), and Inside Man (2006).

ABOUT THE FILM

From Academy Award winning writer/director Spike Lee and starring Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky.

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.
