The New York Times

Variety
Furiously paced -- just shy of the sensory-overload point -- pic duly merits comparison to its spiritual granddaddy "Mean Streets," not in the usual imitative sense but rather in the freshness, character acuity and low-budget high style brought to a different NYC ethnic milieu. Full Review

San Francisco Chronicle
A low-budget wonder: rough and gritty around the edges, filmed for what looks like a budget of $1.98, but bristling with energy, passion and intimacy. Full Review

New York Daily News
Toward the finish, the movie takes a regrettable curve into melodrama, but the excellent performances never waver. Full Review
