Ranking December's Movies From Worst To Best

3. Chi-Raq

RottenTomatoes Score: 80% (7.4/10)

Box Office: Spike Lee's musical drama has recouped just $2.7 million of its $15 million budget. What a shame.

Verdict: Easily Lee's best film in years, Chi-Raq is a satirical musical that ranks among the director's funniest ever films, while still propelled forward by his usual biting social commentary.

Led by a magnificent turn from Teyonah Parris with strong support from the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack and...Nick Cannon (seriously, he's good here), what could so easily have been another ambitious misfire for Lee is instead a rousing success, an angry cry for peace delivered in unforgettable fashion.
