Review of Fear City

Fear City (1984)
7/10
neon, nudity, and nunchucks
30 May 2021
Nobody does sleaze like Abel Ferrara. This 80's era sleaze fest in wall to to wall nudity, mobsters, serial killers, and bad music straight from the heart of New York during it's halcyon days as America's living hellscape. An absolutely outstanding cast round out a story about mob guys trying to protect their strippers from a straight psychopath. Cinematography is a bit choppy as I guess there was various editing and recutting done to please the tools that make up the MPAA but it only momentarily distracts and gives the whole movie a kind of late era grindhouse feel. Excellent.
