T, as most of his friends, lives in a self-constructed 'house', built on top of an old building in the city. Their one passion is 'combat'. Combat is a dance/streetfight during which the contestants try to push each other out of the arena, while not allowed to actually touch each other. When drugdealers move into the neighbourhood and kill T's best friend he embarks on a mission to eradicate the drug-presence in the neigbourhood. (imdb)

Robert Wise was one of Hollywood's most prolific directors but never an auteur. After a long, varied career, his swan song is this: An unmistakable product of the late eighties, cashing in on the capoeira craze, but also a faint echo of Wise's production from thirty years back, the West Side Story film. If you can appreciate over-the-top eighties movies (youth clad in tight jeans, Death Wish 3, groin kicks etc), you may find some enjoyment here.

This is Robert Wise's last theatrical feature and it has a terrible reputation. I'm here to tell you ... it's pretty good actually. It's a cheap late 80's B action flick, and I've seen a lot of those. This one is okay. This film is better than most of the films Wise directed in the 1970's. People tend to call this a "take" on "West Side Story". It's not ... it has absolutely nothing to with "West Side Story".
