Armies Of The Night offers a carefully researched and organized look at a film steeped in mystique. Ever since its release, The Warriors has been followed by a legend of inspiring gang violence and deaths in the theaters where it was shown. This book delves into that legend but that arrives in its latter stages. In fact, the book has a lot more on its mind than just correcting the record.

Simply put, this is the kind of action flick that you'd never see at a theater today, one more concerned with the filmmaker's interests than pleasing a test screening audience and also a film that pulls off some impressive spectacle through analog means. If you're a fan of Glickenhaus' other films, it's a must-watch - and don't be surprised if its 'end of an era' quality makes you feel wistful.
