A colorful, funny and very authentic slice of New York City street life. One of the most underrated, overlooked films of the 1980s.

A fantastic flick from stem to stern; Penn & Roberts are just flawless together.

A gangster story with an odd Horatio Alger point-of-view. It's nonsense, but it's nonsense with some unpredictability and a conman's easy style.
