god i love this movie . i must have see it 20 time by now and and i still can not pass it up when it appear on some random cable station at 1 in the morning . this film be an epiphany to me great cast and great character and great story and great location all without become a stereotyped nu yawk movie . and tom wait a monte . perfect . whenever i see this and it make me miss the city . i be really lucky to have live there in the early 90 only a little later than the film set . anyone who doesn not think these bridge and tunnel character be real should spend some time in the borough . i highly recommend this film to anyone who want a slice of new york city life away from the glitz of manhattan .
