129 minute running time so 40 minutes too long … a Spike Lee movie about life in the projects, drug dealing, violence, crime, desperation, the pathology of Black life … it’s depressing. Non-stop swearing, every other word is the F-bomb, it’s tiring. Harvey Keitel is good as a tough cop. Not fun to watch, esp. the opening sequence which was filled with graphic, crime scene photographs. You can give this a miss.
