Movies

This film is quality. I've loved it for nearly 20 years. It's got to be one of the most underrated films of all time.

This could have been a good movie, and it is interesting to see the parrallel between the killer, Sam, and the characters in the movie (everyone here has a dark side). However, it's long, boring, and really does nothing except make you wonder why Spike Lee made it.It's amazing to read some of the positive remarks on this film here considering : the stereotypes are SO overdone to the point of being aboslutely annonying (Italian "guys" yelling the F word every second of the film worked in "Good Fellas", not here), the music adding nothing (contrary to some other comments, the Who and the disco music actually detract from the film), and the blatent overdone sex scenes (the main character Vinny shouldn't have to worry about Sam with all the STD's he probably has).Don't waste your time : 2/10-Indy-11

In the hands of a film master like Martin Scorsese, this film would've meant something and been relevant. In the hands of Spike Lee, you get one shallow, supposedly hard-edged account of a place in time in New York that pretty much goes nowhere and says nothing. All of the characters are caricatures with shallow personalities and zero likability. Decent cinematograhpy is about the only thing I can commend about this film.
