Reviews

josegonsalves-84577 The Warriors is a great film directed by Walter Hill about a group of lads embroiled with other gangs fighting for honor and turf on a strange surreal night. The film has gained critical acclaim and cult status only in recent years and was quite unsuccessful upon release. The reevaluation could be down to it being seen as a social commentary on youth and tribalism which has taken a much larger scale ever since its release. Indeed today many young people are a part of groups animatedly fighting against others with opposing agendas- which is not to say this film is only subversive. There is a lot of running and fighting and taking cover and hiding. The film flows and the violence even resembles poetry as the film progresses. The setting of the big apple in the isolation of the night lends itself perfectly to the characters and situation. The warriors is a great film not just because of its content but because of how relevant it has become.

LauerViolence The great point about this movie, which made me like it in a way, is that it manages to transport a certain feeling, an atmosphere. The design of the different gangs and their behavior is a big plus point. It kind of reminds one of the droogs from clockwork orange. This point alone is a reason to watch. But, to lower your expectations a bit, the plot line is acted out in a very flat and unsatisfactory manner. While the main-plot is about what i expected when i i first watched it, the (supposed to be) romantic subplot is badly written and carried out even worse. The movie could very well do without it, the romance seems to be crammed in just to have on at all cost, which is sadly the case with a lot of movies, but really kills the mood in this one. All in all, i'd recommend watching it once but not expect too much of it. It's a nice watch but it's not exactly a great movie.

j-grover3 The Warriors (1979), Walter Hill is the story of a gang in New York falsely accused in an assassination who must make their way back to their home base on Coney Island. The Warriors, while not a masterpiece in the realm of writing or acting still makes for an enjoyable watch both due to its high-stakes pacing and gritty atmosphere. I was consistently interested in what would happen to the gang of protagonists throughout the film and the movie keep you engaged from beginning to end with not much in the way of down time. The atmosphere created by the film's mise-en-scene is also excellently done, and the rival gangs that the Warrior must face and overcome or outrun were all entertaining for both their design and nuances. The Warriors is a great film if your looking for something entertaining without all that pesky depth getting in the way. Not too long and easy to watch, a lot of fun.

O2D The Warriors are a gang in 1970s New York City.The good ol' days when gangs all wore ridiculous costumes and fought with their hands. Cyrus,the leader of the biggest gang in the city,has called a meeting and every gang sends reps to the Bronx. Cyrus explains his plan for the gangs to work together and take over the city and he is immediately murdered.The Warriors get blamed and have to make it home with every gang member in the city trying to kill them.This movie has two of the best quotes of all time "Can you dig it?!?!?" and "Warriors,Come out to plaaaaay".They get quoted in as many TV shows as Scarface or The Godfather does.This movie is great from start to finish.A definite must see.
