The Warriors

Walter Hill has always been preoccupied by criminals and the fine difference between a “good” criminal” and a “bad” criminal. The Warriors is a tough, cracking example of this – a law and order tone poem. There’s really not much story here, but it moves fast and maintains elevated badassery. It funny to watch also, for its goofy and dated details. Gang-bangers in suspenders on roller skates, for example.
