Over-long, but frequently poignant drug epic

Look Lolly, I think we need to call a truce. You don't hit my men, I won't hit yours. You don't hurt my brother... and I won't take your whole family. We'll work it out so you can get a piece of the action. Ok, chump? I mean champ. My word is bond.

Sugar Hill

Don&apos;t agree with the above opinion

I&apos;m surprised that someone else has this opinion, but so be it.  I thought this was a wonderful story about a young man from the projects, his close relationship with his younger brother, and his ambitions borne out of a disgraceful upbringing by his absentee, addicted parents.  Also involved is his relationship with his brother, who seems to never have grown up at all. They start as drug runners on &quot;Sugar Hill,&quot; and eventually run the place, with Romey the big kingpin.  What&apos;s ironic, though, is that Sugar Hill (sugar = euphoric high on hard drugs) is the same place they grew up, and where their parents got strung-out thereby neglecting their responsibilities in guiding their children.  Luckily, Romey came out of it with some sense, street and book, and he takes over as head of the family (the family that&apos;s left that is).  This is a what I believe is a common tale of the recycling of the same woes that happens to families on the mean streets.  I think it&apos;s an interesting phenomenon.  Also very reminiscent of Scarface, in that the youths grow up with outrageous ambitions that no amount of money can ever appease, a need for power, money, success.  The ending is bittersweet, but you feel satisfied with the outcome overall.
