Movie Haiku:Personal Best for Spike Lee, who casts himself right in the middle of the action as Mookie, the guy delivering pizzas for Aiello on the hot summer streets of Brooklyn. Barely controlled chaos on the urban edge explodes in the tragically inevitable conflagration. Break-out film for Perez & cinematographer Ernest Dickerson.
