Blaironit Excellent film with a gripping story!

Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

sallyhanford This is the first time that I have seen Brendan Sexton III on screen and I was really impressed. The movie does start a little slowly, but it is worth sticking with. It is more like a French movie than an American one something like 'Les Quatre Cents Coups', where the atmosphere is almost more important than the action. The leading actors are a gang of youngsters all of whom are very good in their roles. The hero reminds me of River Phoenix in 'Running on Empty.' I would recommend it.

spunky-17 At the beginning of this movie I was turned off by all of the not-so-modern ghetto slang and almost wanna-be-hip attitude of the movie but I soon forgot that. It's really quite an interesting, and realistic film about a New York kid who's on the fast track to a life of crime. His dad's dead, his mom's in jail for murder, and his grandma owns a bar. He and some of his friends hangout, lift stuff from stores and generally just do illegal stuff. It escalates into a suspenseful train and then the movie just ends when he's on the way out of New York. A somewhat disappointing ending, but a good film altogether.

Antisoc Hurricane Streets was one of the most powerful, realistic movies I have ever seen. Marcus was on the outside who every teenager is on the inside. I should know, I'm 16.

erasure3 Some decent performances were dulled by characters that never developed and a story that never really went anywhere. A tame counterpart to Larry Clark's "Kids," we are taken into the tough inner-city streets and into the lives of a few of its teenage inhabitants. I couldn't get over the feeling that I knew these kids were acting, whereas in "Kids" the performances seemed shockingly real, like a documentary. Lacking on many counts, the movie never provoked much emotion and there seemed to be no closure to any of the characters nor did I care.
