ReviewsRolling Stone - ...Bold and imaginative..., Uncut - ...A brutal, bleak masterpiece..., New York Times - ...A good, dark, uncommonly evocative screen adaptation....The performances are nearly perfect...

Additional InformationBased on Hubert Selby, Jr.'s novel depicting the flip side of the "fabulous fifties" set against a violent dockworkers strike in Brooklyn 1952. The mean and desolate streets of Brooklyn are home to a host of unhappy, hopeless characters stuck in dead-end lives. A young self-destructive prostitute, named Tralala (Jennifer Jason Leigh), emotionally numb from having sold her body so many times, regularly leads her prospective clients to a dark alley where a gang of petty criminals who roam the streets in search of passion and excitement, beats and robs them; Harry, a corrupt union leader who cannot deal with his repressed homosexuality; and a young girl's father refuses to admit that she is eight months pregnant. All these stories take place in a world waiting to explode: local workers are engaged in an angry strike against a nearby factory, while, not too far away at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, soldiers sail daily for Korea, many never to return. The personal and the political intermingle in this bleak look at poverty, drugs and violence in the inner-city in the early 1950s.

last exit to brooklyn dvd
this was a film i had watched years ago and for some reason i thought back then it was a good film. so i thought i'd buy it on dvd. so i watched it again and fell asleep half way through. i did pay that much attention to it or the plot or even what it was about. but i may give it a second watch and see if it was as good when i watched it years ago. cant really say i would recomend this movie but some people might like it.
