Zina Bethune, as the girl, is believable but Harvey Keitel, as the anti-hero, is alternatively boorish or bewildered.

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.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten

[It] can be read as a rather rough draft of Mean Streets.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

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.
