Editorial Review:
As a filmmaker and passionate fan of basketball, Spike Lee was the perfect director for this ambitious and heartfelt sports drama, which brought out the best in both Lee and his well-chosen cast. In his third film for Lee, Denzel Washington plays Jake Shuttlesworth, who is in prison for the manslaughter of his wife. His estranged son Jesus (well played by Milwaukee Bucks basketball player Ray Allen) is the nation's best high school basketball star, and Jake receives a compelling offer from the state's governor: If Jake can convince Jesus to sign a letter of intent to attend Big State University, the governor will reduce his sentence. Lee turns this back-room bargain into a fascinating examination of capitalism in college and professional sports, but the film also works as the moving story of a father's desperate attempt to regain his son's respect. Lee handles the basketball angle with an insider's awareness, and takes a few stylistic risks (including a memorable final image) that pay off with considerable emotional effect. He Got Game fully explores the visual poetry of basketball and the greed that fuels this particular vision of the American dream, but Lee never loses sight of the sport's inherent beauty, or the higher priorities of redemption and family that form the solid foundation of this exceptional film. --Jeff Shannon

He Got Game [Region 2] Reviews:
Under-rated, great album
2009-12-11 - I have not heard any recent PE albums. That said, I think this album is one of the best albums PE has done up to this date (1998). My favorite used to be "Apocalypse 91- The Enemy Strikes Black". Why do I like this album so much? One, PE's lyrics brilliantly mix their trademark political issues with the movie storyline, "He Got Game". Two, their sound and beat changed slightly more to a modern beat yet keeps a bit of their old-school sound. For example, "He Got Game" is a definite modern remix of what many rappers do today, find a catchy beat from a famous song and add their beat to it. But my favorite songs on the album are "House of the Rising Sun" and "Game Face".

There are not many albums nowadays one can listen from beginning to end and say "that was a great album; every song is good". Apocalypse 91 is one, but I think "He Got Game" is another one. Though this album is 1998, it still sounds and feels "modern".

NEVER RECEIVED DVD
2009-05-27 - I ordered HE Got Game - they sent the wrong DVD - I emailed them and never got a response!!!! I think they may send whatever dvd they want to get rid of. Still waiting for my DVD!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent Movie
2009-02-25 - This inspirational, strong, sad, and uplifting story reflects life in brooklyn, and it is just so good. I am a huge spike lee fan and this is one of his top 5 in my mind, incredible. I Love this Movie!

Great Movie
2009-02-18 - Denzel delivers a great performance, that is different from his other classic roles. Denzel plays Jake Shuttlesworth, father of Jesus, (played by NBA great Ray Allen). The movie is phenomenal, a must see.

Best Soundtrack Ever
2008-12-20 - Other than Denzel Washington's performance, the movie is horrible, 1 star quality. However, I bump it up to 2 stars for the movie score...it's amazing. This movie introduced me to Aaron Copland and I was blown away. Spike Lee does a fantastic job incorporating Copland's music into the film, without it I would of walked out of the theatre. The film is worth watching just to hear Coplands music in the backdrop.He Got Game Go buy this soundtrack.
