Slow but good and realistic movie
11 August 2002 | by (Spain) – See all my reviews

A little bit slow movie about underground life. A guy comes out of jail after a robbery and finds his old fellows. Life is not easy in some places of NY and he'll have to face many complicated situations.

Hell's kitchen is a sometimes hard and slow movie but I've found it to be quite realistic and educative also. Good acting and also good use of the music to put you in the situation.
