The new Denzel-Spike Lee crime thriller blew me away — ‘Highest 2 Lowest’ is worth the Apple TV Plus price hike

Denzel Washington in "Highest 2 Lowest," on Apple TV Plus.

"Highest 2 Lowest" only got a brief theatrical run before it hit Apple TV Plus. Unlike "F1," which is somehow still in theaters, Denzel Washington and Spike Lee's new crime thriller quickly made its way onto Apple's streaming service. While cinephiles like myself may be outraged that Denzel and Spike Lee's fifth team-up ever exited theaters so fast, I can promise you, it's still definitely worth watching at home. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that it is worth paying the new Apple TV Plus price hike — though with Apple's seven-day free trial, you don't have to.

I just finished sitting down on my couch, turning on my TCL QM6K and watching all 133 minutes of "Highest 2 Lowest," and while it had me scratching my head at times, by the end, I was incredibly satisfied with the movie. Denzel (unsurprisingly) is incredible, and basically blew me away any time he was acting opposite someone. The movie is almost a series of peaks and valleys, with each peak being anytime Denzel is on screen. Thankfully, as the star of the movie, he's on screen a lot.
