Spike Lee inserts far too much of himself as both an actor and director into this film, which becomes distracting at times. However, the film ultimately serves as a poignant tribute to a complex and often misunderstood civil rights leader, capturing the essence of his struggle and impact with powerful resonance. A special shout-out to Denzel Washington for providing one of the finest performances in movie history.
