Review of Summer of Sam (1999) by Nancy M — 23 Mar 2014

I know I may be one of the few to say this but I think spike lee's 1999 film "summer of sam" is an outstanding movie. The acting is blistering and in my opinion good enough where I could be convinced it was a documentary.

I think the reason everyone dissed this film is it wasn't your typical action packed serial killer tale. "Summer of sam" is a slow paced character study and won't appeal to people with a short attention span.

The 70s soundtrack was fabulous and very accurate for its time period. So in my opinion better than spike lee's critically acclaimed 1989 film "do the right thing" and is my personal favorite spike lee film and one of my favorite films a 5/5 for me.
