A life of crime has earned Roemello Skuggs and his brother, Raynathan money, power and respect. Now Roemello, weary of the destructive world, wants to start a new life with a sophisticated woman from a respectable family. But Raynathan needs his help in a bloody war, as the mob tries to mob in on their territory. The harder roemello tries to walk away, the more he's pulled back into the only world he's ever known and the more determined he becomes to bury the past.

Summary: Sugar Hill DVD Review
Comment: A good movie; however, the musical score, which primarily consisted of a trumpet, became rather irritating after a while. I would've enjoyed this film more with an orchestral score and some suspenseful music at appropriate scenes.

Summary: Roemello's Way
Comment: Wesley Snipes role in this movie might not be remembered but this movie has his best performance in it.
Sugar Hill is basically about Roemello Skuggs who is trying to get out of the drug trade business and has to deal with problems like the mob tring to move in on his territory, his brother Raynathan(played by Michael Wright) trying to drag him back in, his father having drug abuse issues and his new girlfriend, Mellisa(played by the beautiful Theresa Randle) who doesnt approve of his lifestyle and wants to get rid of him and his boss not being happy with him leaving.
Wesley Snipes did a great job as the troubled Roemello but Clarence Williams III is excellent as his father A.R Skuggs. The complex relationship with Roemello and his father is an interesting one as is the complex relationship with his brother Raynathan. Wesley Snipes and Theresa Randle have good chemistry on screen and the movie is well written as well as well acted. While people praise Wesley for Blade they will forget about this gem here. Shame. I still think its his best performance. Two thumbs up from me.

Summary: Harlem a jungle inside a city!
Comment: Harlem is the sinister landscape where every man has to survive according his basic insticts. There's no time for redemption, there's no way out for your elusive dreams, in many ways this film is very close in spirit to Carlito's way where any man can be able to escape from his past.
This movie is a potent Noir, but viewed from the opposite side of the street. If Spike Lee captured all our attention about the strong tension among Italian and niggers Empire about the distribution and sell of angel's dust and other candies, the film gets out from the simple anecdote and returns over and over about the fatality that hovers all this family, mother and father have been destroyed and two brothers build an Empire from the ashes of the fatal addictions.
Superbly narrated, marvelously acted with fluid camera work and firm direction.
Highly recommended.
