Tacky fifties delinquent support., 18 January 2002
Author: Mozjoukine (Mozjoukine@yahoo.com.au) from Australia

Unconvincing handling wipes out the potential of this piece with high schooler Sparks finding the mob loot and picturing a better life than his missile making dad has achieved. The run down Grand Canal community sharply filmed in black and white is the one surviving asset.
