Title: What A Terrific Effort: Puts Pretty Woman To Shame
Review: As a New Yorker who spent a tremendous amount of time in Hell's Kitchen during the 1980's and 1990's, I cannot commend director Amos Kollek (who also plays the antihero in this film) enough for his honesty in creating such a gripping mirror image of the times. Though Kollek's character, Jack, may be detractingly virtuous, the viewer is too compelled by the reality of the landscape to notice. Kollek corralled actual Midtown Manhattan prostitutes for these interviews and splatters them on the screen warts and all without judgement. This is the most authentic NYC-based effort I've seen since STORY OF A JUNKIE and sends a real message that the over-glamorized Hollywood characterization of the modern streetwalker is nothing but bunk.
