Coppola's film about a juvenile delinquent trying to emulate his older brother suffers from a wildly lacklustre script and, to a lesser extent, a phoned-in performance from
Harry Dean Stanton Dennis Hopper. Yet it's sort of enjoyable for its 1980s aesthetics: Filmed in black and white
except for the fish, the frames depict a dirty, run-down neighbourhood, but in a squeaky-clean way: I bet all the dust you see onscreen is
designer dust. (6) A better treatment of this kind of topic by Coppola is
Outsiders.

Oh. Indeed. Corrected. Thanks.
