A little bit of a missed opportunity for me. What confused me the most was the focus of the story. So much of the runtime was spent on dwelling over various bedroom and romance issues. Was hoping for more "the heat gets to you" themes as hinted in the title. Perhaps Spike Lee didn't want to make another "Do the Right Thing" in that regard and decided to mix it up.
Could've been an alltime great serial killer movie as the production value and the 70s and the Son of Sam story in and of itself should provide for plenty of material. Instead it falls somewhere between ok and good. Great use of music and I enjoyed the editing as well.
Not bad, but could've been a lot better. 3 years 2 months ago -
