The only trouble is that I half expected them to break out into song and dance any minute a la West Side Story.

OK, it's not Greek tragedy, but it is based (loosely) on Xenophon, so there.

Visually stunning and emotionally gripping, THE WARRIORS is a classic that, after a quarter-century, has finally recieved the loving finishing touches that it so rightly deserves

Tight, terse and tough. The great Walter Hill once again proves he has few equals when staging intense confrontations.

The movie can also be enjoyed, and enjoyed thoroughly, as a mean, dirty piece of pulp mythology.
