2025/02/21

Two prominent Black filmmakers put their unique touches on the heist film genre. The early work F. Gary Gray does with Set It Off (1996) shows that you can combine character development with high action heists. And Spike Lee shows that the heist can be more about will and intelligence, than brute force, in Inside Man (2006). Let us know what type of heist film do you prefer.
