FilmDrops says

From Academy Award winning writer/director Spike Lee and starring Denzel Washington, Jeffrey Wright, Ilfenesh Hadera, and A$AP Rocky. HIGHEST 2 LOWEST – Coming Soon

When a titan music mogul (Denzel Washington), widely known as having the “best ears in the business”, is targeted with a ransom plot, he is jammed up in a life-or-death moral dilemma. Brothers Denzel Washington and Spike Lee reunite for the 5th in their long working relationship for a reinterpretation of the great filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s crime thriller High and Low, now played out on the mean streets of modern day New York City.
