Movie Review

Grade: B+ "The Warriors." Now this is an interesting one to review. In a way an early version of "Sin City" only more grounded in reality, "The Warriors" is a gang film that takes elements from comic books and a variety of other sources while providing a gritty and moving portrayal of kids without focus.
