West Side Story 10 years earlier & without the music, 28 May 2000
9/10
Author: Holly (aromatic@ivillage.com) from New York, NY

Sensitive study about the lives and loves of street gangs, their loyalties, and interactions with the police. Peter Fernandez is a bit too feckless as the protagonist, but all others are excellent in the supporting roles. Joshua Shelley and Tony Curtis are standouts. Worth watching
