This film is edited by Allyson C. Johnson and produced by Katia Washington.
Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the 5th time 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.
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.
Reviews
"While many will come to Highest 2 Lowest craving the angst of Kurosawa’s masterpiece, for once Lee isn’t setting out to copy what was great before. He is using the past as a starting point to launch into what may be the final phase of his career. He is wielding a plethora of inspirations—musical, cinematic, and historical—to reunite with an old friend. He is making a Spike Lee joint. And it’s exceptional." – Roger Ebert
