That's the perfect example of what the independent movie industry may give from time to time. And since a decade now, we often see such kind of films, sort of mix up of documentary dramas, describing petty hoodlumsliving in their districts. In the most realistic way. No heroes here. There are tons of those films. Some atmosphere here reminds me James Gray's features, like LITTLE ODESSA and THE YARDS. And also Phil Joanou's STATE OF GRACE. But these are only a few examples. I prefer that to the big Hollywood blockbusters. Pure crap for me, with their damned superheroes.
I also noticed that the director Ted Demme passed away in 2002.
Such a shame, this movie maker seemed gifted and he probably could have given us more inventive and powerful crime dramas like this one.
