What critics compared Highest 2 Lowest to
If you can only see one movie that displays the contradictory majesty and grittiness of New York in a riveting sequence that takes place on a New York City subway after a baseball game ends, the movie to see is Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest” (2025)…
“Caught Stealing” is also the third movie this month (after David Mackenzie’s “Relay” and Spike Lee’s “Highest 2 Lowest”)…
This is thanks to Aronofsky’s two go-to guys, DP Matthew Libatique — the master of shooting crisp NYC-set thrillers this year (Highest 2 Lowest) — and editor Andrew Weisblum, who gives the movie the right rhythm and pacing to keep you engaged throughout.
Along with “Highest 2 Lowest” (2025), this movie explores the crossroads of living up to your moral code and retaining what you worked hard to achieve.
…it didn’t bother me as it did in Highest 2 Lowest.
