Editorial Review:
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.
Description of Sugar Hill:
Roger Ebert tagged Sugar Hill as one of the best of 1994. Leon Ichaso's film is not an action flick; no, this stylish drama wants to be a small gangster epic. Call it Roemello's Way: a thoughtful drug lord (Wesley Snipes) wants to get out of his business but takes forever to do so. A Shakespearean tragedy slowly--far too slowly--evolves. While it has a definite street-smart sense, no new ground is covered. Snipes is worth watching, though, and Clarence Williams III (seen far too seldom on screen) is terrific as his doomed father. --Doug Thomas
Sugar Hill Reviews:
Sugar Hill Dvd 
2009-04-24 - Came alittle damaged in package but overall great price, great product. Would recommend for business!
Sugar Hill DVD Review 
2008-11-20 - 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.
Roemello's Way 
2008-08-06 - 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.
