Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The director, who also wrote the original story and screenplay, hasn't succeeded in making a drama that is really much more aware than the characters themselves.
As a film, it has something to say to everyone. As a technical achievement, it brings together two opposing worlds of American cinema.
[It] can be read as a rather rough draft of Mean Streets.
In the aggressive self-confidence, the use of rock music, and the perceptive observation, Scorsese reveals an anthropological feel for street life and the attitudes of male adolescence.
