I thought this would have potential, but I gotta say... this was wholly unnecessary. Reads like a Spike Lee vanity project, bastardizing a classic film just to prop up NYC... as if NYC has never appeared on the silver screen before. I got a chuckle out of some of the Easter eggs — we live in a timeline where a Jalen Brunson jersey can casually make a background appearance in a film — but mostly just out of the sheer audacity on Spike's part to toss in as many references as he could. There's nothing grandiose about this from a visual perspective, and frankly it's just not a great looking movie in general. Definitely made for streaming, and destined to be lost in the purgatory of Apple TV. I will take new music from A$AP Rocky though!
Watched at the Rio. Limited theatrical run before it hits Apple TV. The Rio was the only theatre locally playing it — seems like Cineplex didn't get their hands on it.
