This review is from: Rooftops (DVD)

Kids from broken homes and poor families living on the rooftops of newyork city, guy falls in love with girl whos cousin is a drug dealer using the building to make a deal and to kick out all the kids and put them on the street. they have to fight to keep what little they have left. stylised visuals of gangsters, graffitti, latino life and poverty. good pacing, good action, decent story and acting, entertaining to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Capoeira Dance Film Ever!!!, March 26, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Rooftops [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This superb street/dance drama that uses the graceful Brazilean Dance/Martial arts style known as Capoeira is produced and directed by the reknowned Robert Wise(West Side Story)is about a group of teenagers who dance and fight it out on the rooftops of lower eastside New York City.The group leader(Jason Gedrick)falls in love with a girl involved with drug dealers where a street battle follows.It's a film very well worth watching!!
