    One of the first Gen X New York gang flicks. Good acting, great casting and a tight story. Very 1980s post-punk nihilisism.

    An absolutely awful movie. Abysmal dialogue which seems to be made up on the spot, even worse mise-en-scene. The only redeeming moment is seeing a young Jamie Gertz in a skimpy outfit. A non-movie.

    Yeah, i'd like to see this, i think!
