This movie is like a West Side Story without all of the singing and dancing but,with plenty of blood and gore. The best thing about this movie is the fight scenes but some of the excessive violence can be a little off putting. Watchable but nothing special.

I want to say that I love this movie. I admit it is a little excessive at times but it is still great. A lot of people bash this movie because the characters it depicts in that notorious period in history are very unpleasant,but I know those people. Names and faces are different,but all the nastiness is the same. Just like these guys I know a lot of people who just have nothing better to do with themselves than hang around on street corners and in trashy bars,get drunk,get high,and get in fights and I could see these people using a serial killer as an excuse to harass and rough people up. But not all of the characters are unpleasant. Sorvino,Brody,and Espozito are likeable. I think this a great movie. Instead of showing the worn out serial killer story about the cop who will stop at nothing to catch the murderer, it shows the affect a serial killer can have on a city. Great movie, Spike Lee's best.

Good movie about a group of Italian American twentysomethings centering around two Nicky and Ralph and their criminal ways and relationships. The story is kind of borrowing from MEAN STREETS but it has its own little twists. Pretty good movie I recommend to fans of GOODFELLAS and MEANSTREETS.

I have lived in the New Orleans area my whole life and i will say you never hear people talk the way you do in this movie. This movie makes it look like the only thing we eat here is gumbo. These New Orleans accents are horrible and of course everybody in New Orleans is cajun. In fact, Trying to find a cajun in new orleans is like trying to find a needle in a hay stack. One thing that really irritates me about this movie is the line where quaid says "we dont call it mafia down here we call em wiseguys".That is B.S,we call it mafia here just like everywhere else. If you are not from New Orleans and you dont know the city very well,you might enjoy this movie. If you are from New Orleans avoid at all cost because it might make you angry.
