Plot: Wesley Snipes and Michael Wright play druglord brothers who have a mob-like crime empire in the Sugar Hill section of Harlem. Through flashbacks, we see how Roemello Skuggs (Snipes) and Raynathan Skuggs (Wright) entered the drug culture, with Raynathan helping his mother inject heroin. She died when the boys were young, but their father A.R. Skuggs (Clarence Williams III) survived, remaining a hopeless and frightful heroin addict. Roemello has grown up to be an educated, culturally pretentious businessman who stays away from his own merchandise, wears expensive cashmere coats and other colorful clothes, and lives in a beautiful uptown apartment, while being plagued by guilt. Raynathan, however, is losing his battle with drug addiction and spiraling downward. Roemello runs the family drug business with the help of an old-fashioned mob boss, Gus Molino (Abe Vigoda), whose grocery is a front for the dealing. To fuel his doubts, Roemello becomes involved with a beautiful aspiring actress, Melissa (Theresa Randle), and she urges him to get out of the drug business. But a rival dealer, Lolly Jonas (Ernie Hudson), cuts into Roemello territory, there is a brutally violent turf war, and Roemello must decide whether to defend or abandon his livelihood. ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Sugar Hill DVD Review
Added 11/20/2008

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
Added 8/6/2008

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.

The product is outstanding. Flawless quality, however the packing needed some help. The DVD case was broken upon receipt and I can not use the case.
