Inspired by the exploits of New York's Guardian Angels, which began as a band of streetwise young people who formed an anti-crime subway patrol and went on to gain a national reputation and units in major cities around the country, this film unites three New York City youths as leaders of a citizens' patrol tackling gangs terrorizing merchants and local citizens.
Clinton
Кен Уол, главный герой, сыграл настолько многообещающе, что никто не ожидал, что его талант ждет такой обидный конец. Маленькая Линда Манц почти "украла" фильм в роли крутой крохи, бесстрашной подруги Ван Лидта, главаря-гиганта банды с другой улицы. Кауфман придает фильму едва уловимую грусть по эпохе, которая вот-вот должна закончиться с убийством Кеннеди. Многие эпизоды навсегда врежутся в память зрителя, включая самую смешную сцену, когда члены банды Ван Лидта так напьются, что запишутся в морскую пехоту. А страшная, почти сюрреалистическая битва с таинственной и жестокой бандой, прозванной "Зе Дакки Бойз". В целом это захватывающий фильм с потрясающим музыкальным сопровождением, подобранным из хитов того времени.
