anyone who wonder how scorcese and keitel get their start need to watch this wonderful odd little film . all the classic scorcese theme be there whore and tough guy and double edge morality and brutality between men and woman . keitel be just stun in his first film and clearly this be the work of a great talent . i be surprise more people haven not see this film and they always start with mean street and which be obviously a much well film but this be the one that start it all . well worth your time .
