Mean Streets

[lurkerwithout]

This movie just meanders all over the place. I think the plot is that Harvey Keitel shouldn't be friends with deadbeat loser DeNiro. But mostly is just Keitel and DeNiro spending almost 2 hours wandering around talking to people and occasionally getting in clumsy looking in fights. Theres some good moments in all this, but as a movie it just doesn't actually seem to be going anywhere untill near the last twenty minutes. And the characters aren't interesting enough to really carry the movie without a cohesive plot...
