A young corporate exec blows the whistle on his unethical employer (a pharmaceutical firm working on an AIDS vaccine, no less), finds himself pink-slipped and discovers a new line of work as a stud for lesbians (beginning with his ex-girlfriend, no less). Does this sound like director Spike Lee once again packing a film with too many ideas (and polemics) for its own good? It is. Does his visual panache — not to mention a Terrence Blanchard score — help balance his excesses? They do.
