25th hour was dope, I would probably give Inside Man the slight edge but 25th hour seems like it get forgotten about often. I also liked the She hate Me too
Forgot about inside man, thst was a good movie, you're right. Didn't feel like a spike joint though

Yeah 'Inside man' definitely doesnt feel like a Spike lee joint but it is good.
25th Hour is damn good though.

Pretty sure that Inside Man was acknowledged even by Spike as his turn at a "mainstream" film. At least that's kinda how it was marketed, and I remember some reviews even pointing it out.
Pretty good thriller, good performances from the cast, I wouldn't call it a classic but not poor by any means.
Oldboy-remake actually wasn't too bad. Honestly, I kinda like the change he made at the end. It's just that the original had such a massive impact (That film got a LOT of people looking at Korean cinema in a new light) that his came off as kinda pointless (And to be fair, most remakes are....see Dragon Tattoo remake....
)Only recent film that *really* irked me was Miracle At Saint Anna. And I hate to admit it because that film was so damn important to be made. I just don't think that Spike's skill-set translates well to that type of "epic" movie.

Havent seen the Old Boy remake, I just couldn't bring myself to watch a remake of a classic just yet.

It is one of his great movies and easily one of the best films to come out of the previous decade...
So many great scenes in the movie, The F-ck You scene, The interrogation scene, etc..
One of the best scenes is when Frank and Jacob are discussing friendship and loyalty right next to the window where we see the twin tower/9-11 clean up grew.. cleaning up the rubble. The scene has so many layers to it...

Monty turning the "fukk New Yawk" rant on himself, was the shyt that makes the soul burn slow
That downshot of the World Trade cleanup site after 9/11's disaster
Another silent scene-stealer performance from Phil Sey-Hoffman
Rosario actually made you care about Naturelle
, and wasn't just eye-candy
A cameo from Patrice the Gawd
Once again we learn don't F with the Russians
And, never befriend an ex-B-more Raven, over-zealous slob
This film captured the emotional rollercoaster of 24-hour freedom
, before surrendering to a long stretch of captivity
It's not only Spike last GOAT film
but it's one of last decade's Top 5 films
