Amazon.com:
It's important to note that Spike Lee's drama is not titled Son of Sam. Summer of Sam doesn't chronicle the killer as much as the times: the blistering hot summer of 1977 when the Big Apple's psyche was taken hostage by the lone gunman. We spot the killer (Michael Badalucco) in his mad ramblings, but the film centers on two friends from the Bronx: Vinny and Ritchie (John Leguizamo, Adrien Brody). Vinny and his wife, Dionna (Mira Sorvino), bury a bad marriage (he cheats at a drop of a hat) in the disco halls of the area. Ritchie returns to the neighborhood sporting punk hair, punk clothes, and a British accent that immediately infuriates the neighborhood boys oozing far too much testosterone. Cops, local mob leaders, and the guys on the street all have ideas who the killer is; neighborhood loners to Reggie Jackson (in the midst of World Series heroism) are on their misguided lists of suspects. When the film looks at how the citizens faced the fearful times, Lee scores with his energetic camerawork and pop soundtrack. Yet the film is banal in its domestic dramatics. The film takes large detours into Vinny's home sex life (stagnant) and Ritchie's extracurricular activities. One of the marriage arguments--though real and well acted--is so long and cliché-ridden you wonder if someone fell asleep in the editing booth. Add the point-blank killings and nonstop vulgarity and you have Lee's most unpleasant film. --Doug Thomas

A hateful, unwatchable abortion of a movie--Who green-lighted this piece of trash and WHY? Awful story, script, direction, characters--I think this was the only time I was actually made ILL by how awful a film was--I would have walked out, but I was in the company of other "victims" at the theatre and didn't feel like HITCHIKING, or I would have! Spike Lee owes the patrons of this miserable waste of filmstock a refund (and punitive damages) A disgrace to Hollywood and even the decade of the 70's ... Read More

The movie is not what I expected it to be. Nope, not at all.

Spike Lee retreads the same old thing - a film with stereotypical Black and Italian-American "types" in "Summer of Sam" as he often does in most of his work (if you can call it that) and that's all you get from this film.
The film sports an all star cast, but aside from Adrian Brody's role, the film falls flat. Lee just is not using his cast as anything more than window dressing for a bad script.
Indeed one feels the paranoia of that summer, however it's way overdone. It ... Read More

This film, for the most part is great, everything except for the scene that involves an orgy. For the most part though, the cast and crew did great work, and it should of been a hit. Great DVD to own.
Rating:  -
Spike Lee gets the feel and the look of the late 70s down pat, but this movie ultimately fails as either a thriller or a slice-of-life vignette. To be fair to Spike Lee, he does have a good eye for New York details, and the people in this film are recognizable as local types, but I've yet to come across the White neighborhood here that was entirely made up of druggies, whores, perverts, adulterers, gangsters, rent-boys and generic sub-moronic dirtbags, as Spike Lee depicts the Italians of Throgs Neck. ...
