you have read all about the plot and so here be something a little deeper . i just want to clear up a few thing and i have read a lot of comment on this film and read it be film in new jersey . this be incorrect . this movie be shoot in my neighborhood of port richmond on staten island and new york . google it and it not nj and guy . i work a block away from the rail yard that be show very often in the film and and actually hang out down there in my teen . because of this and the movie really hit home and stay with me for a while . i just watch combat shock for the first time in 2008 at 28yrs old . and port richmond sure do look bleak back in 86 and apocalyptic be more the word . i recognize most of the street and it be depress and and nostalgic for me to see my neighborhood in such ruin . port richmond ave have now populate much more and 90 % by illegal immigrant . most of the business that be run down in the film be now active with furniture shop and mexican food joint and 99 cent store . but the rail yard remain the same and though non functional for the last 20 year . a total run down abandon hole in the ground ravish with graffiti and bum and litter with empty drug baggies . i think the film be great and and be even good be a sort of time capsule for me . i can not get this movie out of my head . it be like a window into the dark crevice of my town and the place i would think about and fear grow up .
