This got polarizing reviews at Sundance. Looks like Spike is going back to his roots. I much rather see this (divisive or not) than another Inside Man or Miracle at St. Anna.

I read the same mixed reactions from Sundance, but that trailer is damn good.

Are Bloods still a thing?

From the get-go, I knew it would be self-financed. I never went to the studios. Hollywood is really superhero land now. It’s harder to make adult films today without people flying, unless you’re a select few: Spielberg, James Cameron, Clint Eastwood, George Lucas. I couldn’t get them to fund a sequel to Inside Man, my most successful film ever. If that wasn’t a signal, then I don’t know what is. I refused to go through the frustration of knocking on steel doors, hat in hand like Oliver Twist, saying “Please sir, can you make this film?”

Interesting.

Every spike lee movie is polarizing. So that's nothing new.
