series Black 90s: A Turning Point in American Cinema
Directed by Mario Van Peebles | 1991
With Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, Allen Payne
“Am I my brother’s keeper?” The glowering, gun-toting narcotics tycoon Nino Brown was immortalized by a sensationally malevolent Wesley Snipes in this swaggering thriller’s most iconic scene. Offering a sharp critique of rampant Reagan-era capitalism, this violent Harlem-set showdown pulses with the sounds of New Jack Swing and boasts tremendous supporting turns from director Mario Van Peebles, Ice-T, and a young Chris Rock.
