Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Absolutely brilliant

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

3.A.M. is a movie that tries to be just like "Summer of Sam". Danny Glover and many others play taxi cab drivers during the reign of a killer who is putting holes in the city's cabbies. Basically a repeat of what "Summer of Sam" already gave us. Which wasn't much anyhow. 3A.M. lacks good performances and overall, a story. What was the purpose of this film? I certainly hope that it wasn't made to entertain people. Director Lee Davis is a Spike Lee wannabe. I'm surprised that he didn't say 'A Lee Davis Joint' instead of film. He even recruits Lee to produce the film. Which I can't understand why Spike would produce a movie so close in perspective to a film that he himself directed. This is a jumble of different characters each trying to deal with their own problems. One girl (Michelle Rodriguez) has visions of demons coming to santalize the world. Another cabbie is having trouble with getting in too many car accidents. And Danny Glover himself has woman troubles when he tries to decide into asking his girlfriend (Pam Grier) for her hand in marriage. So, most of this has nothing to do with the movie itself. When I bought it I was expecting a good suspense thriller where we have to try to figure out who this killer is, but instead we have a repeat of Spike Lee films. The acting wasn't all that great either. Glover is probably the biggest name in the entire film, and even he doesn't do such a good job this time. *SPOILER* the most exciting part is when Glover confronts the cabbie killer in his cab. The climax wasn't one to brag about. I only hope that there isn't a director or a writer dumb enough to steal material from this movie now. That would be really bad....3/5.

I guess I could say this movie is decent, but overall, it's not very good. It makes no sense how this movie is listed under mystery/thriller, because it's not even close. I watched this on Showtime a few nights ago, because it said just that, a killer is stalking cabbies, sounding thrilling...so there you go. Was this movie about a killer stalking cabbies? Hardly. The girl who played the "killer" was just awful...her "crazy" was just ridiculous, and laughable for the most part. Glover gives a good performance, and for once I wasn't completely annoyed by Grier (only slightly annoyed.) The overall story is interesting, it keeps you in the movie, but it's misleading. I'm not sure how to classify this movie, what genre it should be under...and I'm sure there are very few out there that could help me out with that. Like I said, it's decent, but it's no gem.

"3 a.m." shuttles between a half dozen characters having to do with a struggling NYC cab company and a diner frequented by some of the drivers during the reign of terror of a cabby killer. A confused and unsatisfying watch, "3 a.m." is a jambalaya of people and circumstances which, for the most part, are uninteresting, poorly developed, and lacking in cohesion. Pass on this one.

I thought the movie was pretty good overall..the actors did a great job...the story seemed to be missing something though...It was nice to see Treach and Guru showing some acting skills...Danny Glover always holds his own and seems to bring out more in his castmates..Michelle Rodriguez shows she's growing as an actress since her debut in "Girlfight", I wish they would have used that more in "The Fast And The Furious"(then again, that's a summer action flick)anyway...It's always cool to see Pam Grier..and Serita Choudhury was good too,i just didn't understand what was going on with her at the end in the diner...was it the business or the deaths that had her upset?...anyhoo! the movie was cool, and I look forward to more films from Lee Davis.
