| San Francisco ChronicleTim GoodmanA wholly original, restlessly real take on San Francisco gang life... Sucker Free City has the kind of non-Hollywood take on urban trouble that proudly makes it cousin to The Wire on HBO, and there really isn't any higher praise than that. |
| User ReviewArseniy VLove this movie by Spike Lee. He did a great job of putting through in this film of the different communities and tension of Hunters point, Chinatown and the Mission of San Francisco. |
| User ReviewPete WFunny how shit works out: Spike Lee directed this pilot for a possible Showtime series- for TV, written by someone else- and it was by miles ahead better than the other shit he put out that same year, which he wrote and was garbage. This is cool crime drama, shot with a masterful level of professionalism and moments of real 'Spike' action (plus the one funny part of Bamboozled is featured prominently: DaBOMB malt liquor), with the only drawback being the given open ending. Needs to be seen by more people who don't know that Lee can direct something mainstream outside of NYC. |
| User ReviewPrivate UTo my great shock I actually enjoyed this, although found San Francisco to be completely unlike the San Francisco I have known. |
| User ReviewDynV MNice "romantic" gangster movie. The romance is not showing the proper degree crime affect communities. |
| User ReviewManny aa very VERY fabricated tale of the SF. I am upset at how it is mis portrayed, but am happy with the storyline it has. |
