Drama about a NY neighborhood during the Son of Sam murders, perceptive, great cast
Top NYC period drama. What people in the late 90s thought of the late 70s. Sorvino & Leguizamo hit it out of the park with ripper dialogue.
It starts good but falls apart. The serial killer story is more interesting than anything else. Too much boring sex. Adrian Brody is great!
hot, intense and atmospheric. sets up a sense of paranoia amongst vigilantes when a serial killer is being reported on the loose.
extremely campy at Times but otherwise an enjoyable watch
A sloppy script and sluggish plot don’t stop this from being super engaging and fun
Interesting concept of a hangout movie with a famous serial killer in the background but fails in execution.
I didn't understand this movie was about a murderer or sexual relations between the people of that city
Tedious uninspired film. Many pointless scenes. Fails at capturing a city fearful of a psychotic killer.
This movie makes you feel summer and all the insanity. This is Spike Lees best movie.
