Another inspired touch is the use
of music during the killings, rather
than full-force grunts and cries of
pain.
Scary characters abound in this
film. Borclli (Joe Viterelli), a beefy
Italian mob boss, exerts undue influ
ence over Frankie, leading him to kill
a member of his family. Borclli’s
men (Vincent Gustaferro, John An
thony Williams, John Rosclius, Louis
Eppolito), ruthlessly knock off people
as their boss commands. Even Terry’s
boss, Nick (John Turturro), a New
York City policeman, is formidable
and at times, seemingly without morals.
There are no heroes in this film,
not even Terry Noonan. This is not a
movie with boundaries of black and
white. Instead, this is film rife with
gray areas and people that are “sort
of’ good and “sort of' bad.
One of die film’s best perform
ances is turned in by Harris, as the
ambitious, cold-blooded Frankie. His
Frankie is an Ice King, truly frighten
ing and totally without remorse or
feeling. He feels no regret at killing
members of his own family, even at
killing his own brother to satisfy the
wishes of an Italian mob boss.
Oldman, as Jackie, also is excel
lent. Jackie is sort of a greasy dirlball
of a guy, a psychotic guy, in a child
like way. Jackie is gone on alcohol,
and kills for revenge. However, he’s
devoted to his brother, his sister and
his best friend Terry and good friend
Stevie. His loyalty is admirable, con
sidering that two out of the four cither
betray him or keep significant secrets
from him. And another one dies on
him.
Penn, as Terry, believably por
trays the feelings of a man tom be
tween two worlds — crime with the
Flannerys, and the law.
Wright, as Kathleen Flannery,
displays talent and drive. Wright’s
Kathleen is dignified and has a great
deal of .self-respect. She has the guts
to stand up to her worthless brothers.
Wright’s scenes with Penn, par
ticularly their frequent sex scenes,
are almost frantic in their intensity,
creating a believable relationship
between the two. It appears that the
relationship was more than fiction,
however, as Wright is reportedly
pregnant with Penn’s child.
“State of Grace” is a fictionalized
account of the Weslics, a notorious
Irish gang based in Hell’s Kitchen. In
the late 1970s, the neighborhood as
disrupted, and what was left was a
gang of psychopathic murderers who
became alienated by these changes.
What was left of the gang decided
to ally themselves with the Italian
Mafia, just as Flannery gang leader
Frankie docs in “State of Grace.”
The Film was filmed on location in
New York and New Jersey, often in
buildings and establishments where
the Westies had hung out. This lends
an air of authenticity to the film.
“State of Grace” is playing at the
Fdgewood 3 Theatres, 56lh Street
and Highway 2.

AIVs LP addicts listener

“Allroy Saves”
Cruz Records
Sadly enough, All has been
overlooked for years by the main
stream crowd, and “Allroy Saves”
probably won’t change anything.
Packed with upbeat,eccentric little
melodics, “Allroy Saves” carries
All a little further up the trail to
genre perfection.
“Power pop” is the label that
inevitably gels slapped on All, not
because these guys fit in with hordes
of other bands, but because this is
the true power pop band of today.
Founding member and drum
mer Bill Stevenson drags a lot of
influence from his ex-band. Black
Flag, inio All, and guitarist Stephen
Egerton follows the lead. Egerton
and bassist Karl Alvarez also can’t
escape occasional flashbacks to their
old band, the Dcsccndcnts.
But it’s hard to nail All’s influ
ence. Besides Black Flag, maybe
old Hiisker Dii — lots of really
good bands come to mind. Yet, the
melody is always there.
Egerton is the driving force of
All, because he uses a guitar sound
that is far loo rare these days — the
one that sounds like it's tearing out
of a big transistor radio.
l hc rest of Uie band is con
trastingly smooth, making for a
