StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Henry Fields Along with Eloy De La Iglesia's "Colegas", "Navajeros" or "El Pico", "Perros Callajeros" belongs to that group of movies from the early 80's that dealt with the life-facts of some typical small time thieves- Young boys that used to assault old women, steal cars, and smoke some marijuana... Most of them came from the suburbs of big cities such as Madrid or Barcelona.So, "Perros calljeros" is not as raw and "ugly" as Eloy de la Iglesias' movies, it's kind of dogmatic and there are no professional actors here. It's nothing but a memory from a time that it looks so far away now, but actually this is the way Spain was less than 30 years ago.My rate: 3/10

kitie7 This film contains a very serious matter,and it`s shown with 100% realism.It`s probably the best street-crime film ever made.From the poorest and lowest suburbs in Spain,comes El Torete and his juvenile gang of modern out laws.Searching for a better life and fighting for there liberty the best way they can,they will stop at nothing to escape the horrors of reality, most of us forget it exists.Car thefts,bag snatches,armed robberies,breaking's, and spectacular car chases by the police are seen in this powerful and shocking film.See how true crime is created by poverty and misery,something we are all guilty of.10/10

kd4kn Perros Callejeros is based on the juvenile delinquence of the 1970`s and 80`s in Spain. The story is set in `Barrio de la Mina` in Barcelona one of the most conflict neighbourhoods in Spain. The charectars chosen were real juvenile delinquents all with criminal records, which the director used to give the film a realistic touch,and maybe to give them the chance to change, but unfortunately non of them live today.This film is very powerful and dramatic, it shows how these kids were brought up to survive on the streets, and how life mistreated them because they were poor!The movie is very realisticly made and has a strong content of the Marginated life in Spain. Something that everyone seems to ignore when they have no direct relation with. It is full of realistic action and suspence. Car thefts, Car chases, Bag Snatchers, Armed robberies, Sex and a soundtrack that comes straightout of this world - `Rumba`.Angel Fernandez Franco, `El Torete` was one of the most famous deliquents of that time, which the director `Jose Antonio de la Loma` Contracted him to play himself as he had a natural talent to act. The Success of this film drove `de la Loma` to use `El Torete` for two more films based on his life, which were `Perros Callejeros 2` and `Los Ultimos Golpes del Torete`. Unfortunately when the films were over `El Torete` turned back to his normal life and died at the age of 29, in 1989 victim of H.I.V. NOT TO BE MISSED AS ITS MORE THAN JUST A MOVIE!ITS A DOCUMENT OF THE REAL WORLD

kolchak25 This film is about juvenile delinquents. Most filmmakers want the audience to identify with and like their lead characters, but these kids have no redeeming qualities. They commit every type of crime imaginable - murder, rape, robbery, burglary, breaking and entering - you name it, they do it. Are we supposed to like these kids? They seem like a bunch of jerks. There is brief flash of male nudity when the lead character suffers the surprising consequences of his actions - and this is carried out by thugs who are even more distasteful than the teens. The film is interesting in an odd way, but why couldn't they have made even one of the teens a decent human being.
