    Good movie based on the Crip - Bloods gang war. Even if it is a little outdated, it is still good and fun to watch.

    This is a great movie about gang life. Robert Duval was very good in this movie and Sean Penn was perfect as the rookie cop.

    Good cop film, nothing special about the film if you watch it now, back then it had more of an impact. Good acting and screenplay.

    A film with issues, still very relevant today, yet dated by the music and clothing. I particularly like the relationship between Penn and Duval, a great rookie film.

    There's two bulls standing on top of a mountain. The younger one says to the older one: "Hey pop, let's say we run down there and fuck one of them cows". The older one says: "No son. Lets walk down and fuck 'em all".

    back in those days lapd did'nt go thru Watts, that would be the RUTHLESS ASS STONIES aka the sheriffs dept. The Glass Shied kinda tells you what was going on in there & they did'nt get reassigned, they were fired & the station was closed & replaced by a health center. After all that, lapd started patrolling Watts again like good ole days of the sixties

    directed by dennis hopper, duvall is a veteran cop, and senn penn the new guy, partnerd to work in the ganglands of los angeles, dealing with the day to day routines that the life has to offer, made 3-4 years before the groundbraking boys n the hood, this is a different aproach, as hood was based on the people living there, this is more the cops eye vie. so its great seeing the proceedures involved, and as penns charactor gets involved with a women from that particular neighbourhood, we see conflicks arise, and also interestinly as this was filmed in 1988, we are seeing a different time, and is interesting to see or compare life in l.a today and 20 years ago, great direction, the locations realistic, and penn and duvall ever reliable, a inportant watch

    Classic. I almost forgot about this one. Pretty good acting. A little over the top storyline. Overall, not bad.

    lf you are into learning about street gangs, watch this movie. The Bloods, Crips, and various Mexican gangs go to war. Plenty of profanity, guns and violence. Who's bringing the chips?

    This is a very serious and well acted cop drama. Sean Penn gives one of his best performances ever and Robert Duvall is, well, great. You'll love this if you like cop drama's.

    It's very interesting but it's very straight forward style didn't work as well as it would have in other films. It just wasn't different enough, however at the time I'm sure it worked better than it does now. Not to say it's dated because it isn't, it's just not that great. It's certainly good though.

    A really good film that opens one's eyes to the reality of gang life in L.A. Gritty and raw with a very unpleasant ending.
