So, 'Big City 1990' is this intriguing drama that sort of floats around the fringes of the genre. The tone is gritty and raw, capturing the essence of urban life with this almost palpable sense of desperation. You can sense the struggles of its characters, who are navigating a city that feels both alive and oppressive. The pacing? It has its moments of tension, mixed with some slow burns that allow you to really soak in the atmosphere. It doesn't rely heavily on fancy effects, but the practical effects are used tastefully, adding to that raw feel. The performances, though from an unknown cast, have this authenticity that makes the story resonate in a way that’s hard to describe. It’s one of those films that stays with you, even if it doesn’t flaunt its merits.
