A "clocker" is a 24-hour drug deaIer, and Strike (Phifer) is the hardest-working one on the streets. But, for Strike, time is running out. When the Iocal drug kingpin (Lindo) tips Strike off about an opportunity for advancement, a rival deaIer ends up dead, and Strike suddenly finds himself caught between two homicide detectives. One is MaziIIi (Turturo), who's Iooking for something much harder to find - the truth - and when Strike's law-abiding brother confesses to the murder, Rocco vows not to rest untiI he's sure the reaI shooter is behind bars. Director Spike Lee, producer Martin Scorsese and writer Richard Price, along with music by Seal, Marc Dorsey, Des'ree and Chaka Khan, deliver a film so riveting, you'll feeI it grab you by the coIlar and toss you in the middle of an urban battIefieId, prompting Jeffrey Lyons of Sneak Previews to calI it, "one of 1995s most powerful films." |
