Summer of Sam Ratings & Reviews

  • cultfilmlikerJuly 26, 2025
    Adrien Brody’s second oddest performance only behind that rude boy SNL musical guest intro! Some really good cinematography in a very disjointed film!
  • ChrisDecember 29, 2024
    “Kill. Kill. Kill” - the Dog Such a great young cast. Brody, Sorvino and Leguizamo are so good. Really wish Mr. Lee could have created the movie he wanted. 🐕 👣📣
