:)~ I love that movie. The story it self was wild, hot & sad when it comes to the end. I would recommend anybody to watch this moive. Stephen Dorff perfomance was outstanding. He also looked very sexxy in the film!:)

~ Yes James Franco is an extreme sexxy hottie! Also the performance were great too.
shareYeah, me too. Only problem I have with the movie is that it seemed
a bit claustrophobic. If you didn't know Brooklyn was part of one
of the biggest cities in the world, you would have gotten the impression
it was a small town. Could have used some more New York atmosphere, some
short location scenes. I still liked it a lot.
I'm old enough to remember seeing movies like this when they were
contemporary, B-grade 'juvenile delinquent' exploitation movies. If you
liked this movie, you might want to check out the classic Rebel Without
a Cause. Not a 'mafia' movie (this one wasn't either, IMHO), but a great,
great classic of the 'j.d.' genre.
Just to clarify: making Sunset Park (the neighborhood in Brooklyn where the film is supposed to take place) seem "a bit claustrophic" (very nicely put, by the way) was actually pretty accurate. Even today, there are people in some neighborhoods in Brooklyn (Sunset Park being one of them) who rarely venture more than a neighborhood away from home. People live their whole lives without even going to downtown Brooklyn, let alone Manhattan. When Annie tells Bobby that she used to live on President Street, it seems like she's talking about some place far away. President Street, however, is only a few blocks down from "Sackett and Sixth" ... but it's in another neighborhood.
(A further clarification: "Sackett and Sixth" is where Bobby says the Deuces ruled, but that location most definitely isn't part of Sunset Park--now or in the 50s. "Sunset Park" didn't actually exist as a named neighborhood until the mid-60s, but even before it was officially named, it never stretched as far down as Sackett Street. So much for historical accuracy ... which could easily have been maintained by changing that one line of Bobby's.)
