Summer of Sam R
Spike Lee attempts to direct Italian
American thriller in this take on the story of David Berkowitz (not Italian),
the infamous Son of Sam, who in the late '70s killed a bunch of people in New
York. The Italian cast in this seem to be kind of embarrassed at saying
stereotyped lines and banter which makes them sound like rejects from a troupe
of Godfather or My Cousin Vinny impersonators . Lee has done better movies. It
is weird here that his actual Italian cast acts like this, and distracts from
the movie. The killer isn't the theme, the racist and foul mouthed dudes are.
Uh, wasn't this about the killer? And his shameless cameo as a reporter is
really lame. The movie just didn't draw interest and it was distracting all the
way through. Review by Adam Browne
