One way or another you'll remember this 1995 movie ....
as you would have remembered the Stanley Kubrik movie 'A Clockwork Orange' this film is like screen burn on your monitor it will leave it's mark.The movie is compressed into a 24 hour period of time and the main characters; Telly, the aids infected looser whose total aim in life is deflowering as many virgins as he can, and, Jennie, one of his conquests that just found out she's postive and has only slept with Telly.Unfortunately, as much as the viewer would like to deny it, the movie is a very true to life 'hardcore' look at a much too large segment of our disaffected urban teens of today. One does not have to go too far to remember the NY Latin day festival in 2000 when raging bands of teenage youths attacked young women on the street scandalously right in front of the cops. (...) On a tchnical note, don't expect your wide screen TV to shine since the video resolution that this movie was shot in does not really allow for more than the letterbox version on the DVD. The sound is pretty boring too and comes across as a two channel mono, and, the director sure saved money on the soundtrack too since there is none ....
