He shocked audiences with Do the Right Thing, Jungle Fever and Malcolm X. And to day, when audiences have grown accustomed to a new genre, the violence-filled gangs- ta film, Lee has thrown us an other ingenious curve, his new film dockers — a gangsta film short on violence. Mekhi Phifer is Strike, a 19- year-old drug dealer, or “dock er.” Strike spends his days on a park bench selling crack for Rod ney Little, the neighborhood drug lord. Strike’s world is turned in side-out when a rival drug deal er is murdered, and Victor, Strike’s brother, confesses to it. The only problem is that Vic tor is squeaky clean. He’s a family man who works two jobs, still lives with mom and even brushes his teeth three times a day. He doesn’t have "killer” written on him, and that doesn’t jive with Rocco Harvey Keitel, Mekhi Phifer and John Turturro star in C/octe Klein (Harvey Klein), the homi cide detective assigned to the murder. Klein does not believe that Victor pulled the trigger — he’s just not the type. But Klein real izes that Strike is. As the film winds on and Klein begins to unravel the mur der mystery, Strike’s life begins to collapse. In his search for the truth, Klein won’t stop harass ing Strike. Little is constantly in Strike’s face, and his crew sus pects him of getting too friendly with Klein. When the smoke clears, not only are Strike and Victor changed, but their families and friends will never be the same as well. With dockers, Lee has ele vated himself to the forefront of film making, dockers will not scare audiences — it will leave them stunned. The cinematography is coarse to reflect the tone and attitude of the New York ghettos, dockers’ script, based on the criticaM claimed novel by Richard™ is concise and powerful. dockers ’ cast is a power-1 house. Keitel is fabulous ast hard-nosed Klein. Lindois strong as Rodney, and Isaiali Washington plays the siraigtj arrow Victor to a tee. Phifer, though, is the star! of the show. He plays Strike! like he knows every thought| that goes through the charai ter's head. The film definitely has he] distinct flavor. Clockersmit flood of meaningless violence, but rather every action and*! means something. That’s what makes CMe. a step above other gangsta movies. While Menace IISon ety and Boyz N The Hood me: audiences cringe and shake their heads at the senseless lence, dockers leaves people thinking that perhaps even thing, even in the chaoticp jects, has some meaning. Ew EOPLE IN THE NEWS Queen Mother royal pain for Prince Charles New fame frightening for stars of Friends LONDON (AP) — Don’t look for Camilla Parker Bowles at the Queen Mother’s digs any time soon.
