  • The Gibson-Russo reteaming leads off; actor pairs who run it back in different roles are rare, with examples including Julia Roberts and Richard Gear, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, Sana Lathan and Omar Epps, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper in multiple movies with a co-star (more of a David O. Russell thing), and Winslet and Leo. — Bill Simmons
  • Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling (Crazy Stupid Love, La La Land) is the favorite re-pairing because they could make another completely different movie now. — Bill Simmons
  • The chess-match aspect of Sinise and Gibson has aged well. — Bill Simmons
  • The script is called well-constructed and well-written, with a shout-out to the writers, including Richard Price for the screenplay. — Bill Simmons
  • The kidnappers, by shorthand, are Lieutenant Dan, the bald Californication guy, New Kid on the Block number two, the HBO narrator guy and Lily Taylor; Lily Taylor is praised. — Bill Simmons
  • Donnie Wahlberg as the good kidnapper recalls the good Nazi in Victory. — Bill Simmons
  • Early email as a plot device, when getting an email signaled that he must be really rich. — Bill Simmons
  • The crew is a sneaky good cast who all played their positions; Donnie Wahlberg was stunt casting in 1996 and has since become a successful actor on Blue Bloods. — Van Lathan
  • The narrative of the dirty cop as the lead villain has aged best. — Van Lathan

  • The pool matches work as clear sports scenes with visible winners and losers — Chris Ryan
  • The art-of-luck line, three-character composition, Vince shirt, score, soundtrack, and numerous pool-table shots are praised
  • Richard Price’s writing career is praised
  • The film’s 1980s clothes, Newman’s mustache, Cadillac, and screen presence still look stylish — Chris Ryan
  • The sequel subtly turns Eddie into the older mentor he once resisted without remaking The Hustler

Who Won the Movie?

In the discussion (4)
Approx. transcript time · 01:36:48Read transcript
  • Spike Lee won: the film made his career, is one of the greatest movies the country has produced, and inspired generations to make movies. — Wesley Morris
  • Lee lets actors from Edward Norton to his own sister give good performances. — Wesley Morris
  • Clockers is a second-favorite Lee film with his greatest ending, solving Richard Price script problems with moral clarity, as in his Katrina documentary and 4 Little Girls. — Wesley Morris
  • This is the film Lee should be proudest of: a perfect movie about an imperfect problem America will not solve, which people will still watch in 100 years. — Wesley Morris
