I mostly agree, especially the SOS thing -- I kept thinking "this seems like something Ferrara would do." It has a lot of Dangerous Game/Bad Lieutenant/etc-isms. I always found Ferrara extremely underrated. He has some stinkers but then so does....... uh... Spike Lee.
The main thing that always gets me about Spike's films is how most of them seem to end on a sour note. Anyone else ever notice this? He loves to "end" with non-endings/non-resolutions and so on, which is a trait I find interesting, in an odd sort of way... uh, anyway... so...
[note how I ended this message on a non-end. WHOA]
