by

In their careers, Denzel Washington and Spike Lee don’t collaborate frequently, but when they do, it results in a truly captivating cinematic experience. Iconic films like “Malcolm X” and “Mo’ Better Blues” remain timeless classics that continue to captivate viewers even today. After being apart for several years, these two talented individuals are reuniting once more, and the trailer for “Highest 2 Lowest” suggests they haven’t lost their knack for creating magic on screen.

For the uninitiated, Highest 2 Lowest is a loosely based interpretation of Akira Kurosawa’s groundbreaking 1963 crime thriller titled “High and Low”. In this film, a businessman finds himself in a dilemma, needing to choose whether he should use his wealth for personal gain or make a life-changing decision to save a child.

The impact of “High and Low” on police procedurals and crime movies is unmistakable, as evidenced by references in films like Parasite and The Batman’s set design. Now, the team behind Lee, Washington, and A24 are offering a fresh perspective on this tale.

In the preview for “Highest 2 Lowest”, we venture to New York City and catch a glimpse of Washington’s character while he provides narration. He brings up an important point, questioning whether one can manage fame, internet memes, and everything else that comes with being in the spotlight. It leaves us intrigued about what Spike Lee will bring in his upcoming project without giving away too much information.
