Review of Last Exit to Brooklyn (1989) by James M — 24 Sep 2010
Very downbeat so don't watch if you want to see characters get happy endings. I also found it difficult to like any of the characters either, they do bad things and pay the consequences but without giving you any feelings of retribution.
Controversial at the time, but probably no worse than an episode of Jeremy Kyle these days. Jennifer Jason Leighs portrayl of the hooker Tralala is superb and the scenes of the strikes give you a powerful feeling of how futile their plight was.
Always entertaining but not as complete as it could have been.
