Customer Reviews of The Warriors
You Warriors Are Good!... In my opinion, "The Warriors" has made its mark as a classic. It is an entertaining representation of gang life at the end of the seventies. The story line is simple which adds to the film's good flavor. The Warriors are wrongly accused and sent on the run. They must dodge and go through several different gangs and police to get home. The leader of the Warriors is played by Michael Beck(Alcatraz-The Whole Shocking Story,Triumphs of a Man Called Horse) who delivers an excellent performance as the quiet yet tough Swan. Also adding a lot to the film's attraction is the trouble-hungry character, Ajax, played convincingly by James Remar. Swan and Ajax provide an excellent contrast within the Warriors. Mercedes Ruehl also makes a short yet memorable appearance. The many different types of gangs are really fun to watch. To me, this movie has it all, action, drama, and even a small touch of romance. I highly recommend this film. If you haven't seen this film, I suggest making a night of it. I first saw this movie when I was 8 years old. I'm 23 and the words "Warriors....Come out to play-y" still are stuck in my head along with those Warriors' vests. This is one of those movies that will have you cheering for the "good guys."
This is a classic!
I remember watching this movie over and over again when I was a kid. I even have the laserdisc. Now I'm glad it's finally coming out on DVD!
"The Warriors" is a story about the street gang subculture in New York, circa the early 1980's. The point of focus is a street gang called "The Warriors", who were unfairly blamed for a rival gang member's death and who must fight their way back home amidst a "jungle" of gangs out to get them (e.g. the bat-wielding "Baseball Furies") Many gang members, fratmen and other tough guy "wannabes" will find something in this film they can relate to: from the feeling of loyalty, of being social outcasts, bravery and the like. Particularly powerful non-fight scene: when the Warriors board a train, encounter a group of obviously high society teenagers out having a good time. The exchange of looks, body movements and the like, until the time the "socs" step out, conveys a lot.
Based on the novel by Sol Yurick, the film features what'r probably the best performance of Michael Beck. Why only 4 stars? Well, for a film of this age, I would have expected more extra features, i.e. interviews with cast perhaps. Still, this is an excellent collectible particularly for the film's cult following. Now I wish they also come out with "The Wanderers", another cult fave of mine!
classic
This film brings back some wicked good memories... I give it 4 stars for content, (music, cast, story) and an extra star for the memories. Is it an award winning dialogue filled film with award winning performances? No, but it was well made and when you want to go back to the late 70s early 80s jump in your time machine(dvd player) and pop in this film , it is a way of time traveling back to this time period and rewatching how it was.
