So much average

Good movie but grossly overrated

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Cyrus (Roger Hill) is the leader of the most powerful gang in New York and organises a rally in New York City with all of the other gang members to take over the city. At this rally Cyrus is assassinated (by one of the gangs) and one particularly gang known as The Warriors are blamed for this assassination. Following Cyrus' assassination every gang member in New York is hunting for The Warriors and they must try to make it back to their home town in Coney Island against seemingly impossible odds...In its most simplest form The Warriors is a chase picture and in its most simplest form this is what makes it fun and enjoyable. This is most evident in the first half of the film with the gangs first escape (which is pretty tense). It carries on in this vein when The Warriors encounter The Orphans; there is still a modicum of tension, but it does lose impetus slightly in this particular scene as it feels more like Wild West than gang-warfare.The speedy pace and intensity in the second half doesn't quite match up to what I witnessed in the first half; when The Warriors become separated the group dynamic sort of becomes lost and undoubtedly the weakest part of the film was when 3 of The Warriors hook up with the girls at Union Square. It's obvious from the moment that they meet the girls who they are and what they are doing so there's no suspense or element of surprise and it's actually The Warriors own egos that results in them being caught short. Whilst The Warriors is a fun film and is fairly enjoyable; it moves fast, it boasts some good fight scenes and some great or maybe not so great hairstyles it sadly misses out on being a brilliant film. There's no real depth to the film and the gang-culture/rivalry isn't really explored; they seem to all be at war, but why? With a bit more effort, this could have been an excellent social commentary. As it is The Warriors is an entertaining film, but it is rather shallow and simplistic and is perhaps not as great as it could have been.There are other weaknesses with the film such as poor/hammy acting and rather poor editing, but in its simplest form this is a fun romp that tickes enough boxes to make it worth watching, but not quite enough for it to be considered a masterpiece.

This movie wasn't bad but it wasn't good, the writer had errors everywhere, I get he was trying to make this realistic but come on. Why did the train skip a stop? How did two people beat up 8 people, I mean they didn't even look that strong so how?

This movie is very entertaining because it shows how the gangs are different from they are now and the different things back in 1979 till now. it also shows how gangs can be very dangerous and now for everybody.

The great point about this movie, which made me like it in a way, is that it manages to transport a certain feeling, an atmosphere. The design of the different gangs and their behavior is a big plus point. It kind of reminds one of the droogs from clockwork orange. This point alone is a reason to watch. But, to lower your expectations a bit, the plot line is acted out in a very flat and unsatisfactory manner. While the main-plot is about what i expected when i i first watched it, the (supposed to be) romantic subplot is badly written and carried out even worse. The movie could very well do without it, the romance seems to be crammed in just to have on at all cost, which is sadly the case with a lot of movies, but really kills the mood in this one. All in all, i'd recommend watching it once but not expect too much of it. It's a nice watch but it's not exactly a great movie.
