I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It's a good movie and all the warriors it's the best gang in the movie I like all the actors

One man joined nine memebers of several gangs together. Now, that one man is dead, and The Warriors are to blame for the murder. Now, its one night of survival for The Warriors, as they quickly become the target of the other gangs, which they must either fight, or run from via subway. Each gang taken down is one less threat to The Warriors, and each trip to the subway is one step closer to home, but with so much against them, will they all make it there alive. Plus, they have one more threat, The Rouges, the ultimate gang responsible for the death, and the one gang that pinned the murder on The Warriors, who are innocent of the crime. Walter Hill does an excellent job directing, and the stars still shine for The Warriors, despite this project being almost 40 years old. So get your warrior on, and come out to play with them, in this fantastic cult gang classic

The Warriors are a red leather vest (with no shirt) wearing 1970s street gang from Coney Island who travel to Central Park where one powerful gang leader wants to unite all the gangs of New York City. Can you dig it? The plan fails immediately when someone shoots the leader and then blames The Warriors for the assassination. Our heroes then have to fight every gang between Central Park and Coney Island in order to get home. Gangs include the bat wielding Baseball Furies, the school bus riding Turnbull AC's, the all-girl Lizzies, the overall-wearing Punks, Chinatown's Savage Huns, and many, many, more awesomely costumed and colorful gangs. This film is likely one of my desert island films, as in, if I were trapped on a deserted island and could only take ten films with me, what films would they be? For such a list, you might not jump to Ingmar Bergman or other heady fare, but might rather seek pure escapist entertainment, and that is exactly what this film excels in. "The Warriors" is a film that I have lost all objectivity on. I don't know how many times I've watched it and can probably quote almost every line. I love the film's gritty, grimy 1970s pre-Giuliani NYC feel. It's not necessarily a realistic representation of the city, as was "The French Connection," but is a comic book version that is utterly enthralling. "The Warriors" was notorious at the time of it's release for incidents of gang violence breaking out in the theaters, which were attributed to the level of violence in the film. Though the violence is comparatively tame by todays standards, it none-the-less remains wildly exciting even by modern standards. Action sequences don't get much better than James Remar taking on a face-painted Baseball Fury, or the subway bathroom fight, or the shootout at the Lizzie's hideout. Producer/writer/director Walter Hill knows his way around an action sequence better than most directors and those talents are on full display here. The film has a deceptively simple story, but Hill gives the film an epic feel that I'd argue taps into Greek mythology, much like Odysseus as he faced his series of trials on his long journey home (no, really, I think it's there). Michael Beck is terrific as the leader of The Warriors (actually the Lieutenant, who's forced to take over after their leader is killed), as is the always great James Remar in his first of several appearances in Hill films. No review would be complete without mentioning David Patric Kelly as the crazed leader of The Rogues, who clinks his glass bottles together and sings his creepy chant, "Warriors, come to plaaaayyyyyyy." Look fast for Mercedes Ruehl as a policewoman in a park scene and Debra Winger on a subway in another. Taking place entirely within one night, the film never slows, has an amazing soundtrack and an even better filmscore by Barry De Vorzon, and features gorgeously photography of a gritty yet comic book version of a crime ridden NYC. "The Warriors" is an undeniable classic that in my mind cannot be improved upon. I think I now want to buy the old PS2 video game version of the movie, that featured a good number of the original cast. If you haven't seen this film, do yourself a favor and go see it immediately!

The Warriors (1979), Walter Hill is the story of a gang in New York falsely accused in an assassination who must make their way back to their home base on Coney Island. The Warriors, while not a masterpiece in the realm of writing or acting still makes for an enjoyable watch both due to its high-stakes pacing and gritty atmosphere. I was consistently interested in what would happen to the gang of protagonists throughout the film and the movie keep you engaged from beginning to end with not much in the way of down time. The atmosphere created by the film's mise-en-scene is also excellently done, and the rival gangs that the Warrior must face and overcome or outrun were all entertaining for both their design and nuances. The Warriors is a great film if your looking for something entertaining without all that pesky depth getting in the way. Not too long and easy to watch, a lot of fun.
