The Children of Times Square
Luis introduces Eric to Skater, who brings him into a gang of street kids who work as drug runners for a cocaine dealer named Otis.Drawn to the allure of what looks like easy money, Eric and Luis go to work for Otis, but find themselves sinking deeper into a world of gang violence and crime."[3] He said the film comes close to being pure exploitation, adding, "For some impressionable youths, it might even serve as an advertisement for alternative styles of life."[3] Diane Holloway of the Austin American-Statesman said, "Rollins is terrific as the slimy Otis, and Cassidy is heartbreaking as the distraught but determined mother.In fact, there is little fault to be found with anyone in the cast", but said the film doesn't rise above standard after school special material and has an implausible ending.
