Alphabet City

19-year-old Johnny (Spano) is an East Village drug kingpin with the white Pontiac Firebird to prove it. But when he decides to go straight, he finds that the mob that made him isn't going to let him off that easily. Punk filmmaker Amos Poe crafts a luridly expressionistic gangster saga set amidst the neon-splashed mean streets of the Lower East Side. The echt-80s, synthpop soundtrack is by Chic's Nile Rodgers.
