A Spike Lee movie is usually confronting, and different to what you would expect. This one is no exception.
This looks at the issues of pledging in American Colleges and also of intra-racism, that being between lighter and darker skinned African-Americans.
They are both fairly foreign concepts to Australians, so it was interesting to watch. The movie was very well paced, and the only problem was it could have actually been longer, and the ending was very abrupt.
The cast led by Laurence Fishburne and Giancarlo Esposito was very good, and good old Samuel L Jackson appears for a small role, in this his fifth movie role.
Overall it was a very good movie.
Laurence Fishburne = 25/48.
Bill Nunn = 20/41.
Samuel L Jackson = 72/91.
My rating = 8/10.
