Movie Reviews

New Yorker - 7/10 by Richard BrodyThe film is built around long takes of tightly composed performances, culminating in a bravura four-minute shot with entrances and exits brilliantly orchestrated by the commanding presence of Cassavetes.
User Review - 8/10 by Martin TA different type of look at a youth gang in New York. It takes it's time to explore what causes these gangs to form instead of moralizing on how bad the kids are these days. Makes for a refreshing viewing, and Cassavetes and Mineo help a lot to. Good stuff that doesn't take the easy way out.
User Review - 8/10 by Zoran SPerhaps I'm overrating it a bit but Cassavetes is really good in it and Siegel makes the most of the tiny budget and limited sets.
User Review - 6/10 by Gregory Wall star cast many from the superior "asphalt jungle"
User Review - 6/10 by Adam SStudio bound 50's social problem flick with John Cassavetes as a youth gang leader tormented by inner demons, and kindly James Whitmore as the social worker trying to turn him around. Good acting, with powerful direction from Don Siegel, but the obvious studio setting is unrealistic and the photography isn't much better than the TV standard of the day.
User Review - 6/10 by Andrejs Pthis is the usual concrete jungle/wild in the streets teenage delinquent drama, aside from cassavetes' intense performance, still a few years away from making his own films
User Review - 6/10 by Allan CFamiliar juvenile delinquent story is made better than average by a fine cast that includes John Cassavetes, Sal Mineo, James Whitmore and future director Mark Rydell. Tight, tough direction from the always reliable Don Siegel also helps the film rise above it's unoriginal script and modest budget.
User Review - 6/10 by Zdravko PNo poster? so rude. I almost cried at the end. "Richie! You're my brother...I love you! Ahh so geat. So this kid Richie, a lousy good for nothing hood, wants to kill a man who slapped em. But does he have what it takes...you'll just have to find out. Don't mind the corny voice over.
User Review - 6/10 by Steve WBefore Don Siegel did crime classics like Dirty Harry, he was Donald Siegel and he did some crime thrillers. This one was pretty solid, with uneven monologues from juvenile delinquents and the people trying to set them on the straight path. The movie is mostly build up, but it does have an emotionally satisfying ending.
