Absolutely Exhilarating!

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2002)

Now this is a classic! It's funny ("Al Pachino!") sad, raw and affecting. Plus one of the best soundtracks in film history! Johnny T. gives one of his best performances ('sides Fiction) as Tony, a Brooklyn toughie who works at a paint shop, gets laid, hangs out his his low life friends and burns the dance floor every saturday night. THis film is about how he starts to hate his racist, hateful life in Brooklyn and wants to escape from his pals and his dysfunctional family to Manhattan. As i said before, this Movie is raw, the last scenes with Tony and his friends when he realizes that he hates his life is powerful stuff. The dance scenes are great too. Anyone who hasn't seen this important and classic Flick by now is officially considered a fink!
