ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

John austin The Warriors still stands up decades later as adrenaline fueled action in a tense, dark urban landscape that almost looks like a sci fi backdrop due to the great direction and cinematography of Walter Hill and Andrew Laszlo. The Warriors are a racially integrated gang from Coney Island who get implicated in the sudden assassination of a gang overlord. They have to make their way back home to Coney Island and become the target of every underworld outfit in New York City.It's been said that the theater lobbies would break out into fights after this movie was shown, and it's easy to see why. The action scenes are almost lyrical- every bit as good as the martial arts classics from earlier in the decade. I can easily see how impressionable people could get totally caught up in it back then.This movie launched a few decent show biz careers including James Remar, Michael Beck & Debra Van Valkenburgh. Rumors of a remake a few years ago proved unfounded, and they shouldn't even try. They'll never be able to create anything close to what they made here in 1979.

alexanderdavies-99382 "The Warriors" will go down as one of Walter Hill's greatest movies. Everything about this film clicks into place. The dialogue, the acting, direction and photography are terrific. The music is pretty cool too. You never forget the sense of danger and of tension as the gang "The Warriors" have no choice but to fight their way all the way back to their home territory along Coney Island after they have been falsely accused of murdering a high ranking gang member. The action is well choreographed as you root for "The Warriors" to clear their names. Probably the most familiar face amongst the cast is James Remar. He has worked for Walter Hill on a few occasions and this movie was the actor's first major one. It is interesting in that real street gangs were employed for the movie. Goodness knows how the actors and film crew got along with them! A classic.

j-grover3 The Warriors (1979), Walter Hill is the story of a gang in New York falsely accused in an assassination who must make their way back to their home base on Coney Island. The Warriors, while not a masterpiece in the realm of writing or acting still makes for an enjoyable watch both due to its high-stakes pacing and gritty atmosphere. I was consistently interested in what would happen to the gang of protagonists throughout the film and the movie keep you engaged from beginning to end with not much in the way of down time. The atmosphere created by the film's mise-en-scene is also excellently done, and the rival gangs that the Warrior must face and overcome or outrun were all entertaining for both their design and nuances. The Warriors is a great film if your looking for something entertaining without all that pesky depth getting in the way. Not too long and easy to watch, a lot of fun.

Sean Lamberger Gang warfare in the boroughs of NYC, seen at their absolute grimiest. This is a film that's admirable for its inner fire, and its determination, if not for its execution or storytelling. In a sense, it almost works as a sheer abstract; lingering shots of graffiti-laden subway cars and dark, wet city streets abound, lending it value as something of a time capsule in the modern light. The plot is adorably simple, though, and overacted at every turn. It's no surprise to see this as the first or second film on nearly every actor's resume, although I'm not sure a more accomplished thespian could do more with the script, which left me laughing from its sheer absurdity more than once. It's more of a visual film anyway, reliant upon the cityscapes and quaintly-themed gang ensembles to do most of the heavy lifting. That's a wise decision, as it's generally entertaining to look at, though the aforementioned gangs vary from laughable (an entire syndicate of mimes) to, actually, pretty cool (lots of stylish fedoras in this flick). Unfortunately, there's a serious lack of violence for this kind of picture (flight seems to be the word of the day) and the second act drags on for so long, there's barely any time for adequate resolution at the end. A valiant effort, not to mention an influential one, but not a particularly good film of its own right.
