Nistico seems to have achieved what he wanted: He validates the question, If the American dream was stolen, wouldn't you want to steal it back?

Nistico's clichéd, sledgehammer dialogue alone is enough to shut this one down.

The film scores as an honest and often disturbing portrait of contemporary working class life, and it certainly deserves to be seen.
