SYNOPSIS
Hailed as an uncompromising look at life on the dark side, Last Exit to Brooklyn follows a gang of young hoodlums, a down-and-out prostitute, an alcoholic father, and a low-level union official as they attempt to survive in the harsh underbelly of lower class 1950s Brooklyn. Adapted from the cult classic best-selling novel by Hubert Selby Jr., The New York Times calls Last Exit to Brooklyn harrowing yet savagely beautiful.
