i saw this film when i be 12 and it change my life . i form my first band the very next morning . i have just see it for the second time . after 20 year of wait to see it again it be every bit as great a i remember it . for me and this be absolutely the great punk movie of them all . trini alvarado performance be staggeringly mature and and tim curry give a career best turn a a rebel rouse dj . the music ( patti smith and ramones and if you love it it probably here ) be to die for and and alan moyle direction paint an masterly picture of urban street life in the late 1970s ( it new york and but everyone will see echo of their city in this film ) . however and it be robin johnson performance that really hit home . this wonderful and move and dark and witty movie belongs to her . no wonder it have such an effect on me . time square be a masterpiece . it will brain your blow out . thank you alan moyle and word can hardly express how i feel about this film .
