Aroview: Those persistent bugbears about race and personal responsibility hold centre-court again for writer-director Spike Lee in this square-off against the big $$$ of the NBA basketball 'industry'. Hoop-shooting parolee Denzel Washington cuts a deal to win his estranged son for the state team, in a riveting play-off of loyalties that displays all of Lee's strengths: attention to emotional detail, raucous humour and stylish visuals.
