series Major League: Wesley Snipes in Focus
Directed by Mario van Peebles | 1991
With Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Mario Van Peebles
“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The glowering, gun-toting narcotics tycoon Nino Brown was immortalized by a sensationally malevolent Snipes in this swaggering thriller’s most iconic scene. Offering a sharp critique of rampant Reagan-era capitalism, Van Peebles’ violent Harlem-set showdown pulses with the sounds of New Jack Swing and boasts tremendous supporting turns from director Van Peebles, Ice-T, and a young Chris Rock.
