Review of Sucker Free City (2004) by Pete W — 08 Sep 2008

Funny how shit works out: Spike Lee directed this pilot for a possible Showtime series- for TV, written by someone else- and it was by miles ahead better than the other shit he put out that same year, which he wrote and was garbage.

This is cool crime drama, shot with a masterful level of professionalism and moments of real 'Spike' action (plus the one funny part of Bamboozled is featured prominently: DaBOMB malt liquor), with the only drawback being the given open ending. Needs to be seen by more people who don't know that Lee can direct something mainstream outside of NYC.
