CITY RATS (1986)



 This is basically a drama about a guy losing his son to the mean city streets but luckily it was made in Mexico so they threw in all kinds of cool exploitation(Mexploitation?) elements to make it better. The main one is there's this gang of kids running around mugging, stabbing, lighting on fire, blowing up and generally terrorizing people including the police and an Asian prostitute. Then on top of that you get various sleazy criminal types and corrupt cops. Our main character is played by the writer and director of this, Valentin Trujillo, and although he starts out pretty bland, he becomes quite the ass-kicker once his kid goes missing. I've gotta look for more of Mr. Valentin's work since it looks like he specialized in these gritty low-budget crime dramas.
 On a negative note don't try watching the release of this from VideoAsia since their DVD has some awful fucked-up audio thanks to their shitty transferring process.
