Prostituzione

A forgotten gem. Melissa Leo is awesome. And Leon is the smoothest pimp ever put on screen.

If you're looking for a film about "the life" -- there are better.

But if you're looking for a moody piece that will make you feel nostalgic for 80's NYC, I can't think of many better.

This movie is a good depiction of life on the streets as prostitution is often glorified in other movies (eg Pretty Woman). This movie shows the grim reality and gruesomeness of a street walking prostitute. It shows the rough relationship between Pimp and Hooker. There are many scences in this movie that are funny too! One scene is where the pimp Duke comes back to the apartment looking for Cookie who got him abducted. Here in the apartment he rips the whole place apart and acts like a madman - quite funny! Then another scene shows Cookie and another prostitute forcing a client to act like a cow as they humiliate him. All in All, not a movie of the modern day, but still worth a watch. The action packed chase at the end is really adrenalizing as you feel as if you are in the movie too! Not to forget lots of violence in this film.

This starts off like a movie of the week, then turns into a pimp slasher movie. It's a bit all over the place, with some over the top acting, but it's trashy and weird enough that it's worth a watch. Julie Newmar seems to be on a different planet though.

If you missed out on the 1980s sleaze disco scene this movie is for you. All the standard pimp characters are here with there assorted hos. The movie is surprisingly entertaining given that it is a rehash of every hooker-on-the-street film out there. It's not dull, which is the worst sin of an exploitation film. There was surprisingly good acting all around and I'd give almost all these actors a pardon for being in this film. The soundtrack is someone on a synth in their bedroom but that just adds to the charm. The badguy pimp Duke really outdoes himself bursting with horror-film rage and his favorite ho Cookie hands in a very decent performance as the naive happy hooker. You may want to take a shower after watching this or see a priest.

Flashback in the 80s NYC nightlife all RAW and soundtrack was DOPE! I wish I knew where they filmed the name of the club in this movie? Awesome movie hands down "Julie Newmar" is even in it.. Genuine! Authentic! Cinema!
