Basically a real time actioner, "The Warriors" takes place at night leaving every corner with the possibility of some gang member itching to take the framed gang down and they lurk under many colorful guises almost as if they were straight from a comic book. From the Lizzies to the Baseball Furies, there's not a single moment of peace for the suffering street gang and we experience the race home first hand thanks to a DJ who narrates the film over antagonistic music and cryptic bulletins to other gangs waiting to strike the Warriors down. Hill directs the film with a tense atmosphere that provides his 1979 oeuvre with an urgency and rapid pace that will keep your jaw to the floor. If that's not enough, we're given one of the best on screen battles of all time as the Warriors rumble with the roller skating "Punks" in a Men's room among an abandoned subway. It's a thing of beauty to see as the choreography is near seamless giving way to one of the most memorable aspects of the film. "The Warriors" is a gritty piece of crime fodder that keeps its balls hanging out from the minute the credits roll.
