The scene on the subway when they're sitting opposite the rich kids is probably the best depiction of a class divide I've ever seen, you know? That pretty much silent scene tells you a million things about this fantasy world, more than hours of plot ever could. When Swan…

"Can you dig it?" Yes, I dig it, but try explaining this film to somebody and it sounds dumb: "So yeah there's this gang of men that wear vests that were framed into a high gang leader's assassination and now all the gang's are after them as they try to catch the train…

absolute greatest of all time contender
keira lovedThe WarriorsA captivating masterpiece about gangs in New York City. The Warriors have to bop their way back to Coney while hitting every obstacle imaginable. Rival gangs, cops, anything that could’ve gone wrong probably did. Innocent until proven guilty doesn’t exist on the streets tonight.
JudeDude lovedThe WarriorsCult classic that my family would quote often growing up. It’s not for everyone but has enjoyable fights and action scenes, a compelling storyline, and lots of cool shooting locations in 1970s NYC.

This is a pretty good movie but it definitely feels like a product of its time. Not dated necessarily but definitely very 70’s.

Metacritic
The Warriors is a real peculiarity, a movie about street gang warfare, written and directed as an exercise in mannerism. There's hardly a moment when we believe that the movie's gangs are real or that their members are real people or that they inhabit a real city. That's where the peculiarity comes in: I don't think we're supposed to. No matter what impression the ads give, this isn't even remotely intended as an action film. It's a set piece. It's a ballet of stylized male violence.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Hill, shooting by night and on location together with his OOP Andrew Laszlo, gives the film dazzling style. New York's oil-slicked streets become a labyrinth lit by pools of reflecting light, both scary and strangely beautiful - grimy realism it isn't. It also manages to humanize the gang-bangers to a surprising extent, illustrating the material and emotional poverty that forces them onto the streets in the first place.
