imagine every stereotypical and overacted cliche from every movie and tv show set on the street of brooklyn between 1930 and 1980. populate it with a cast of interchangeable caricature instead of actual character . throw in a mix of period music and wail electric guitar during the rumble scene . then pass the time try to figure out ( or care ) which of the deuce be go to be kill in the ( anti ) climactic final rumble . i will give this movie point for not be just another romantic comedy and teen slasher and explosive action movie and teen sex comedy and kiddie musical and or oscar nomination vehicle . but bring something new or interesting to the street gang tragedy genre might have be nice .
