i receive a dvd copy of time square for review and do not expect much since i be not much of a fan of the whole punk rock scene when it come about . but i have to say that i really like this film and robin johnson manic and gutsy and authentic portrayal of nicky to be best of it . apparently there be a director cut that be chop up for release . unfortunately the editing be one of the bad aspect of an otherwise good film . continuity and exposition problem occur in the version i saw and i find from the commentary about the miss scene that would have fill in the gap . despite some poor editing i still have to recommend the film and because of the performance and the gritty feel . director allen moyle would go on to make pump up the volume and i see the root of that film in this one . i give it an 8 .
