Streets (1990)
10/10
Very violent film but beautifully executed!!

I had always wanted to see a film about the crazy homeless people in Venice, CA and now I have! This film is very entertaining on many levels. What if the cops in Los Angeles really are this insane?!

Streets has a great cast: a young Christina Applegate peppered with a nice spread of unforgettable character actors such as Aron Eisenberg (deep space nine fans) and Patrick Richwood.

The acting by Christina Applegate is fantastic (though the acting by most everyone in this film is quite good!)- she's so young here but already you can see how natural her acting is!

The direction by Katt Shea is superb. There are many shots in here seldom performed by directors well- but she does them all flawlessly! The blood and gore does not appear phony which is surprising since this film didn't have a gigantic budget.

Above all the script of Streets is very well done. The characters are well developed and the dialogue is believable. It doesn't end with a cheerfully happy end either- it goes a more realistic route which I appreciated.

Streets is very violent and suspenseful it will leave you shaken and on the edge of your seat!! SEE IT! Why is this not available on DVD yet?!!
