John Travolta's Brother in "The Warriors"???, 16 June 2002
7/10
Author: Goodmovielover from United States

Joey Travolta stars in this gang film about a gang member who wants more out of his life and tries to break away from the gang life that he grew up in. Travolta does a good job in the lead role, and the film does have an interesting story. However, the film is quite dated and it is a shame that Joey did not get another chance to show his on screen charisma. After this film flopped, his career as an actor and singer went nowhere (he was quite a good singer too). After several unsuccessful supporting roles, he went on to directing, and is now directing mainly straight to video efforts. As an actor/singer, he never could come out from his brother's shadow, but this film was his best chance to shine. Although the film is merely okay, Travolta is good.
