- Synopsis:
- A clocker is a 24-hour drug dealer, and Strike (Mekhi Phifer) is the hardest-working one on the streets. But for Strike, time is running out. When the local drug kingpin (Delroy Lindo) tips Strike off about an opportunity for advancement, a rival dealer ends up dead, and Strike finds himself caught between two homicide detectives. One is Mazill (John Turturro), who's only looking for an easy bust. The other Rocco (Harvey Keitel), who's looking for something much harder to find the truth and when Strike's law-abiding brother confesses to the murder, Rocco vows not to rest until he's sure the real shooter is behind bars.

Project Management - Clockers review by griggs
Spike Lee swaps Brooklyn brownstones for the grim grid of a housing project, and the result is ambitious, sprawling, and just a touch overcooked.
Mekhi Phifer carries it with a hunted stillness, while Harvey Keitel brings his familiar rumpled-cop energy. Clockers is fascinating in its parts, but never quite comes together with the force it promises.
