The first half was very strong, riveting, and intriguing. The second half is another story, it just became a complete mess and totally took me out of the film, it's as if Spike Lee just didnt know what direction to go with the film and it just became jumbled up and convoluted.
Too bad, because it could've been a truly great film.
Grade - C

Re: Summer of Sam
Decent and well made film, but I think it would have been better as a mystery/suspense type story rather than the Shakespearean tragedy that its going for. And theres a simple way to make that change - just don't reveal who the killer is until the end of the movie. I know its based on real events, but how many people from 1999 are gonna remember what the real killer from 1977 looked like?
