Audience Member Totally blindsided by how awesome this was! It's a smaller, lower budget crime flick, but what it lacks in spectacle, it more than makes up for in style. The design, the music, the cinematography... all aces! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/21 Full Review ashley h Alphabet City is a decent film. It is about a New York City drug dealer who decides to get out of the business, but has to flee from mobsters. Vincent Spano and Michael Winslow give good performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Amos Poe did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama and thrills. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member suffers from some bad acting but as far as its Photography and atmosphere it's pretty f****** good. New York in the 80's fascinates me. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A watchable tale of the streets, though I wasn't ever fully drawn into it - not sure why, it just didn't grab me the way I sort of expected it to. I did enjoy the sketchy '80s era NYC settings though, so that's a definite selling point. Rental? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member i don't care want people say this movie is independent gold its stylish it has good music totally under rated five stars Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A very generic genre exercise about a criminal hood who tries to go straight in order to protect his wife & child. It was obviously made a small budget back in '84, and it shows, but perhaps the only thing redeeming about the movie is it's stylishly color-fueled, late-night NYC neon-grunge cinematography by Oliver Wood (who would later go on to do Miami Vice and the Jason Bourne series). The flick doesn't pack the same kind of comic punch that Walter Hill's "Streets of Fire" possessed, which would only be released a few weeks later. Just stick with "Streets of Fire".
