Ratings and reviews

This is by far the BEST documentary I have seen in years! Brilliant Direction by Tiller Russell, production and editing magnificent! I consider myself a documentary aficionado, and this whole " visionary ride" through late 80's East New York is worth it's $ and like a good book, you find that you keep going back for more...

Great crime documentary! I had goose bumps throughout the whole thing, very well put together film, I cant believe this actually happened! Five stars all the way

This is a perfect documentary. The mix of tracking down really involved talking heads and the obtaining absolutely pertinent info from them, with the constant clips, themselves had to have been a herculean task, but it surely worked. Doesn't even feel like a doc. It's a great movie.
