REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., Jan. 31, 2002
Walter Hill's visually riveting tale about gangland warfare in New York City unfolds like a violent, comic-book Western. Gang colors, desolate streets and subway platforms, and graffiti-emblazoned backgrounds create penetrating images of boroughs gone berserk with block-by-block warfare.
