solid film ... umm sorry, joint, from spike lee. unfortunately one thing sunk this film for me. the talking dog. first off, it just looked ridiculous. if i was supposed the be drawn in, it didnt work bc i was laughing too hard (i want you to go out and kill. kill! kiiiiill!!!!). and secondly, the dog didnt talk to berkowitz, it was in their incessant howling that he heard messages. outside of that one blip, it really was a good film ... but damn, that talking dog.

This is a pretty visceral film, but ultimately not very rewarding. It seems as though Zodiac starring Jake Gyllenhal borrowed heavily from it and did the whole True Crime Serial Killer thing a whole lot better.

Spike Lee's best film about friends who live in the neighborhood where the Son of Sam murders are taking place. Very well acted.

Spike Lee really didn't have any clue what direction he wanted to go with this.

Had no idea of what the film would be like, it was a blind rent. Spike Lee is being Spike Lee as he brings us into the world of working and lower class New York during the years the Summer of Sam was on the loose. Very lengthy, not completely satisfying. It was my first time to see Adrien Brody in a film, he turns in a very brave performance.
