Being a fan of Spike Lee I think this is one of his more underrated
film SUCKERFREE. I’ve seen nearly all of Spike Lee’s film some I liked more
than others, but I liked this one and enjoyed the lesson on the development of
San Francisco and the Bay Area. It was also nice to see Spike shoot another
city other than New York. The story aspect left me wanting some kind of answer
or form of closure and then again this is a Spike Lee joint. Overall I enjoyed
the film, I’d recommend it to select friends due to subject matter. So for
SUCKER FREE I give it 4 stars.
