On the mean streets of New York City, a dog-eat-dog mentality reigns among the destitute citizens. In one of the many abandoned buildings in the neighborhood of Alphabet City lives the Brazilian Rita La Punta (Marília Pêra), along with her delinquent son, Thiago (Richard Ulacia), and a gang of Hispanic teens charged with selling heroin and cocaine. When Rita and her young gang members get involved in a minor turf war, the violence escalates out of control, touching everyone and sparing no one.

Although Morrissey may be performing a service with this picture by warning of the dangers of unchecked urban decay, the evident pleasure he takes in doing so raises doubts about his motives.

B-

The movie has atmosphere. What it doesn't have is a sense of thespian polish, as the helmer hopes to get raw with a mostly amateur cast, ending up with an ensemble where most of the performers can't act.

Edgy to a point, but mostly filled with pointed black humor.
