Get ready for a cinematic showdown! The official trailer for 'Highest 2 Lowest,' starring Denzel Washington and A$AP Rocky, has finally arrived, generating massive buzz after its Cannes Film Festival premiere. This crime thriller, a modern reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's classic 'High and Low,' marks the highly anticipated reunion of Denzel Washington and Spike Lee since 'Inside Man' in 2006.
A Modern Crime Thriller Inspired by a Classic
'Highest 2 Lowest' transplants the core story of Kurosawa's film to contemporary New York City. Washington plays a powerful music mogul whose son is kidnapped and held for ransom. A$AP Rocky stars as Yung Felony, an aspiring rapper and, according to Lee, bears a striking resemblance to a young Denzel. The film also stars Aubrey Joseph, Ilfenesh Hadera, and Jeffrey Wright.
Spike Lee himself has been singing A$AP Rocky's praises. He noted that A$AP held his own against the legendary Denzel Washington. Lee even joked about the resemblance between the two, suggesting A$AP could convincingly play Denzel's son. This dynamic adds an intriguing layer to the film's narrative.
