Violência na Cidade

Johnny (Vincent Spano) is a drug pusher working for the mob in New York City. He's driving around in his Trans Am and running the operation around his neighborhood. His 15 year old sister Sophia (Jami Gertz) is an escort. He's desperate to get her and their mother out of the hood. Lippy (Michael Winslow) is his friend. Angie (Kate Vernon) is his girlfriend.

This is so 80's although it is borrowing from the 70's. I don't know anything about director Amos Poe. He seems to have made a name as an outsider indie filmmaking in the New York City scene. I like the ground level aesthetics although the filmmaking is a little rough. It is just so cheesy. I'm sure that it's not the initial intention but it's so 80's. The story is pretty straight forward. I do like it all being in one night.
