I'll start by saying that this is by no means a masterpiece. It's very flawed with quite large plotholes and very visible mistakes. But don't let this turn you off of this film because it really is one of the most entertaining films of the 80s. John Cassavetes always makes good movies and with this he doesn't disappoint. His unique style of filmmaking is what makes him so extraordinary, but with t... read more

This John Cassavetes thriller stars Gena Rowlands as Gloria, a tough-talking New York dame with a past she'd rather forget. When a neighboring family is killed by the mob, Gloria must call on her experience to protect the only survivor, a young boy. She expects trouble, but what she never sees coming is the mother-son bond that develops between her and the boy.

Filmes 2020. (234 movies items)

"Viimeinen näkemättömistä Essential Cassaveteseista. Jopa vitun ärsyttävä kakara ei onnistunut tätä pilaamaan. Päinvastoin se korostaa sitä, kuinka paljon Rowlandsin hahmoon täytyy sietää. "

Mustanaamio7's Movie Diary 2020 (149 movies items)

"30.11. 2020 A tough woman with criminal past must reluctantly protect a kid after his family got killed by gangsters. The two main characters have some fun and emotional moments together while they are escaping the gangsters but these few nice scenes don't save the film from awkward directing and aimless story. The ending is also disappointingly abrupt and it is not the only moment in this poorly written film that lacks proper explanations."
