Hill understood what teenagers liked, and as a result, he made a film that they could identify with.

The cast here is one of the main reasons why the film is such a classic. James Remar here is fantastic and really makes his presence known and his talent shine.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 14, 2023

While the race-against-the-clock narrative propulsion is positively gripping, the smaller elements laced throughout The Warriors leave the most lasting impression.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Sep 29, 2023

It’s a funky, flashy grindhouse epic that makes the most of its low budget graffiti aesthetic, practically abstract in terms of plot and motivation, but executed with the visceral pulp punch Hill mastered in his tough, terse pictures.

The Warriors, albeit rooted in reality, is a journey into eye-stinging fantasy.

It's the most exciting film in America right now -- so exciting that Paramount may be forced to call it back and lock it up, like the juvenile delinquent it is.

| Nov 5, 2021

Often remembered for its catchy 1970s score and soundtrack, the movie's dark sense of humor and adventure will forever lie at the center of its appeal.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 20, 2021

A rousing piece of pulp entertainment.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 31, 2021

No matter what impression the ads give, this isn't even remotely intended as an action film. It's a set piece. It's a ballet of stylized male violence.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 7, 2021

The Warriors admits to failures of conception (occasional) and dialogue (frequent), but there is much of value in Hill's visual elaboration of the material.

| Mar 7, 2021

The Warriors is no more than a schlocky exploitation movie.

| Jan 11, 2021

An influential survivalist thriller that would become a renowned cult classic.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 31, 2020

If you've never seen this film, I can't recommend it highly enough. It's definitely in my TOP 5 of "all-time greatest movies."

| Original Score: 10/10 | Aug 14, 2018

[The Warriors] it is one of the most original films of the year... [Full review in Spanish]

There's a night-blooming, psychedelic shine to the whole baroque movie.

| Jan 3, 2018

It's both surrealistic pop art and sentimentalized pandering to the attitude of "us against them," the have-nots against the haves.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 9, 2016

If the movie is not as dangerous as its detractors claim, neither is it as glorious and memorable as some of its less discriminating admirers would have it.

Walter Hill's vibrant 1979 adaptation of Sol Yurick's 1965 novel - based loosely on an ancient Greek story called "Anabasis" - is a classic cinematic record of New York City circa 1979.

| Original Score: A | Feb 18, 2013

Cartoonishly violent, insanely moody and pointless.

| Original Score: B | Oct 26, 2010

A cult film that deserves its reputation.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 12, 2010
