The Real Deal (from a NYC Native)
Man, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, and THIS is a Gangster Flick that tells it like it is and keeps it raw dawg to the bone. Too violent? Bada Bing, this is the way it is in my beloved concrete jungle! I grew up around all this (but thankfully never got dragged in). I also studied Organized Crime for 2 years at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and this movie describes perfectly an era of gangworld struggles between Little Italy and Chinatown, located today in the same area that Gangs of NY takes place in during the 1840s. This is where Organized Crime was born. Watching this movie I am also reminded of the notorious Vietnamese Gang known as BTK (Born To Kill), who also prowled the streets of Chinatown around the time this film was put out. Again, this movie tells a truly pure tale without watering anything down. In my opinion this is a TRUE classic. I'm dying for this bad boy to come out on DVD!

Rich Panebianco and David Caruso at their very best!
If you haven't seen this movie, even if you're set on renting X-Men for the 50th time, give this a shot. Of all Abel Ferarra's movies this is by far the best. I first saw this movie when i was 9(and back then i probably also liked watching Care Bears) it was on my top #5 list then and it has stayed on that list for the past 7 years.

With all the tags it has received ex. action, drama, suspense, crime, China Girl frees itself from these and gets a new name in my mind "New and Rising Classic".
