Movie Rating

I can see why this was such a big film for the time it was made in '83. Very violent, gritty, some shocking scenes and tons of swearing. You can see how it has influenced countless other gangster films since. While it is very enjoyable and entertaining, I wouldn't quite rate it as a masterpiece. The plot is actually very basic and straight forward and it's predictable. Al pacino's performance is what this film is all about, that and the bench mark for every gangster film made since.

This is another one of King's great short stories, up there with The Long Walk. A very insightful psychological thriller, that has, at some points in time, been banned from book shelves. It is one of the stories in the Bachman Books, one that is always well remembered, probably because of the effect reading it has on you.
King delves into the mind of a high school shooter, it's violent and graphic, it is not tasteless. As Bachman King did some of his best writing.
