Boulevard Nights (1979)

Review by Captain_Couth

Boulevard Nights

5/10

Hammy Acting and Lazy Direction Ruin A potential Cult Classic

Boulevard Nights brings back childhood memories of watching VHS tapes on a bulky Magnavox VCR. You know the kind that has a remote control that you plug in and load the tapes by popping off the top. Thoses were the days. Well, the movie is the usual "homeboy" film filled with stereotypical Chicano youths. The actors were either overacting or didn't know how to act (with the exception of Danny De La Paz and "Big Happy"). The lead actor look liked he was going to laugh several times for no apparent reason. I haven't seen this movie in awhile, but I can still picture it in my mind.

A Tale of two Chicano brothers, one a young rapscallion and the other is a former gang member trying to live the straight life. Both of them belong to a local street gang called VGV. The younger brother longs to be a full time member and in the process take his brother's spot in the gang hierarchy. But like most movies of this ilk nothing ever seems to go according to plan. The movie is full of clichés and the directing is lackluster. I wouldn't mind owning this movie if it was available on DVD however. Not bad but not very good either.

Cheesy, mediocre "street gang" flick.
