The Warriors

Director; Walter Hill
Starring; Michael Beck, James Remar
Year; 1979
Genre; Thriller
Release; UK Paramount Blu Ray

In case you've never heard of this, set in the future, New York is in the grip of gangs. Big cheese Sirus has called a meeting of all the big gangs, and a truce for people to attend. Assassinated at the meeting, the killing is, falsely, blamed on The Warriors. Stranded miles from their home turf, they have to fight all the way home. A classic of 70's filmaking, this is an utter blast. Sure it's a bit cheesey, the acting is terrible, and Beck is far from convincing as the leader. However, it's all great fun, as the gang go from one fight to the next, in their attempt to make it home. Required viewing for just about anyone.
