Denzel Washington is back, flexing his drama muscles in Spike Lee’s latest, “Highest 2 Lowest.” Expect a high-stakes ransom situation with a hefty pinch of tension, coming to theaters and streaming soon.
The Plot Thickens
In this edgy thriller, Washington plays David, a music mogul who’s thrown into chaos when a kidnapper demands $17.5 million with a side of subway directions. Meanwhile, animated visuals and shots of the Brooklyn Bridge set the stage for this NYC vibe check.
Cameos and Characters
The trailer teases A$AP Rocky jumping into the fray, and Jeffrey Wright as Washington’s ride-or-die driver with a not-so-casual line about “Jake from State Farm” and guns. Big yikes, but we’re here for it.
Throwback Vibes
This Denzel-Lee collab marks their fifth project—first in nearly two decades. Inspired by Kurosawa’s “High and Low,” it packs elements of a classic police procedural with a contemporary remix, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Star-Studded Cast
– Elijah Wright
– Aubrey Joseph
– Ice Spice
These rising stars join the mix, bringing fresh energy to this NYC tale. The film wowed Cannes back in May, so FOMO is real.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, A24 will deliver this cinematic snack on August 15, with an Apple TV+ drop on September 5.
And trust, you won’t want to miss the chaos as Denzel faces off against mystery villains. Grab your popcorn—this is going to be a wild ride.
