Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Shan Nicholson's film consists of oral histories from the now-reformed gangsters. As such, it can't help but sound a bit embellished, what with all the street monikers and seemingly glorified titles.

A fascinating, valuable work of social, music and New York history, a celebration of a peaceful revolution by those who helped birth it.

fresh:
Cramming a lot of anecdotes, urban lore and frenzied movement into a mere 71 minutes, Nicholson's docu imperceptibly builds to an unexpected, revelatory climax.
