The Warriors
Walter Hill, 1959
I played the video game back when it came out in 2005 and it was awesome. Unfortunately, the movie didn't live up to the greatness of the game. It's sad times when a video game adaptation outshines the source film.
The film was based off a comic book, so I understand what the director was going for. However, I found the acting to be sterile and awkward, the story unengaging and monotonous and the characters unsympathetic. The only good scene in the movie came near the end once the Warriors got back to Coney. The Rogues leader sits in his car, clanking beer bottles together and chants, "Warriors. Come out and play," over and over. It was pretty eery, but unfortunately the rest of the movie fell short of the mark.
Wasn't Feeling It.
