The film consists of a 12 year old runaway some rent boys had been pimping dying in their bedroom and them discussing what they are going to do about it. They eventually invite a client over and drug him up in the hope that they can blame it on him. While the locations are grimy, there is nothing explicit in the film. Based on a play by Adam Bowne, to which its dialogue heavy nature must have been better suited, as the film is never ending repetitive talk. Unfortunately it is all rendered incomprehensible due to accents, slang and bad quality sound. While it is most famous for having a pre-fame greasy haired Kevin Bacon playing a junkie drug dealer the only interesting moments come from a female drug dealer’s deranged delivery of her lines and Orson Beans performance as a paedophile trick. It is nice to see 42nd street in New York back when it was a seedy cess pit but the film doesn’t have the comedy of Morrissey’s earlier and vastly superior Trash or Heat and its pace is mind numbingly dull.
1/5
