***9/10*** "a GeNuiNe CLaSSiC oF iT'S TiMe!"

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2002)

One of the most influential movies of the 1980s. Whe you watch this movie, you actually feel taht your watching a movie that was made in the day of it's time. Sorcesse shot the film in b/w to ensure that the audience visualises the world in the gritty/dog-eat-dog society of the time.

The story is about a pre-psycho fighting madman who wont accept victory even though he;s heading straight to the top, and his borther and wife ensure the full heights of his madness and intimidation. At times the movie becoems so believable that the bleak atmosphere of the time, along with the b/w cinematography actually begins to bring you down. A genuine classic ***9/10***
