Spike Lee says Highest 2 Lowest is his last film with Denzel Washington

Director says his fifth movie with the actor will probably be their last project together as Washington ‘has been talking about retirement’

Highest 2 Lowest is a pacy New York thriller that stars the 70-year-old Washington as David King, a millionaire music mogul who is forced to take action after his assistant’s son is abducted in a case of mistaken identity. The director credited Cannes with helping to send his career stratospheric by including his controversial race riot drama Do the Right Thing in the main competition in 1989. It’s a glossy, high-concept affair, complete with swooping drone shots of the Manhattan skyline and a climactic fight scene on a downtown subway train.
