A gritty look at the lives of 'Clockers' in a typical Brooklyn project, Clockers is both intriguing and unpredictable. With a fantastic supporting cast, its definitely one of Lee's better 'Joints'.
My favorite part of this film is Lee's use of color. Through the production design and the use of reversal film stock, Clockers' colors really pop. Creating a world of vibrant colors to go along with the complexity of the situation at hand.

It's enjoyable, but it was a lot more of a small scope compared to Lee's other movies. Keitel, Turturro and Phifer all gave great performances, but Isaiah Washington was horrible, not that he's ever been good.

Not my favourite Spike Lee, but good editing made it tighter & I think, better than the book (Rrichard Price). Truth be told, The Wire says it all better and wittier, but if you've only got 129 minutes to spare, not 45 hours, watch this one.
A half decent attempt at a crime film. It does however feel a little contrived and unoriginal. Considering the talent, it's a shame the film wasn't more daring.
