Industry Reviews
"...[An] excellent cast....In their own separate category are [Turturro and Gregorio] who give FIVE CORNERS a larger-than-life, melodramatic dimension..."
Canby
"...Turturro is downright scary but also sympathetic....Also excellent is Graff as the wounded lover who delivers many of the film's best lines with a manic glee..."
Variety - Jagr. (05/20/1987)
"...It jumps and lunges....[The film] has electric sass, unfazed morality and sweet, tough jolts..."
Los Angeles Times - Michael Wilmington (01/22/1988)
Quotations
"I gotta apologize to you for selling me for five dollars? I'm worth 25!" (Melanie to her boyfriend)
"You're so determined to kill yourself one way or the other. If they won't let you go to Mississippi, then you'll go out and lock horns with some nut-case here. You're just like your God-damned father, Lord have mercy on his dumb-ass-hero soul." (Mrs. Fitzgerald to Harry)
"There ain't no Eskimos in the Bronx... yet." (Detective Mazola)
