About this product

Product Information

SUMMER OF SAM, Spike Lee's sizzling interpretation of the summer of 1977 in New York City, when thermometers shattered and a serial killer terrorized the city, focuses on an Italian-American community in the Bronx--specifically, Dionna (Mira Sorvino) and Vinny (John Leguizamo), a couple whose marriage is threatened by Vinny's obsession with other women. After Vinny returns home one night to find a killer has murdered two local women, he promises to mend his cheating ways, albeit unsuccessfully. As the media exploits the murders and a blackout threatens to unleash anarchy on the city, its inhabitants begin to look for a scapegoat who will release them from the reign of terror created by the chilling figure known only as the Son of Sam (Michael Badalucco). Lee's ambitious film does more than re-create the events that unfolded during the summer of 1977; in addition to being an entertaining time capsule, it also deals graphically with the concept of the mob mentality.

Summer of Sam intense but good
Not focusing on the insane David Berkowitz, Spike Lee tells the story of the crazy things that happen when New Yorkers must deal with a random serial killer and how mob mentality can turn neighbor upon neighbor. Think of Twilight Zones “Monsters on Mulberry St”, but true.

Covered a very familiar time in my adult life
One of my hobbies is viewing movies and the more I watch the more discriminating my taste in films gets. That being said, I loved this film, especially the fact that it covered a period of my adult life.

Spike Lee's best film
And it was also Adrian Brody's breakout film. Co-written by Michael Imperioli who went on to star in The Soprano's. He also has a bit part

Great movie kids under 18 not recommended for
Excellent movie not recommended for young kids, to much sex, drugs and violence. Have seen it many times and love it mire and more especially that it’s a true story makes it even better.

Good title and Newspaper clippings on the DVD cover
It's a good movie about 1977 New York City, the blackout, and the serial killer "Son of Sam" John Leguizamo is good in the movie too..

Low budget attempt
Uninteresting depiction of the Son of Sam murder spree. Poor quality, poor acting.
