107 minute running time so about seven minutes too long, but I quit watching this after ten minutes. I may have lasted longer if the disc had subtitles, but it didn’t, so I gave up pretty fast. This was about some black kids in Chicago circa 1964 … they’re sort of delinquents, cutting school and stealing and screwing girls. It’s a black culture movie, and I had zero interest in it.

I watched it because only one guest of the Criterion Closet (Luis Guzman) picked this movie. I’m surprised that Criterion re-issued this since it looked pretty terrible, but it might appeal to black people of a certain age?

Rating: 2. This is a good example of a 2 rated movie… it means I didn’t finish it. Rating 1 means I actually sat through it and regret doing so.
