Title: Brutally Honest Film About the Decay of New York
Review: From the point of view of a criminologist, I would say that the epilogue to this story would be rather bleak for our protagonist. At the very least, he would face a very serious litany of charges: aggravated robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, & probably 2nd degree homicide.From the point of view of a film historian, this is an incredible work of cinematic art & a most important document depicting the rotten side of NYC circa 1969.This film ranks with "Taxi Driver" as the most brutally honest film with NYC as the backdrop. A very powerful & gutsy choice for best picture & very deserving as well.
