Allmovie Rated Best

Filmmaker Spike Lee and actor Denzel Washington (a New York Film Critics Award winner and Academy Award nominee as Best Actor) join other top talents to bring to the screen the life and times of Malcolm X. Here's a man who rose up from the dregs of society, spent time in jail, reeducated himslf and, through spiritual enlightenment, rose to the top, says Lee. This is an incredible story and I know it will inspire people.
