The Children of Times Square is a gritty portrayal of the harsh realities faced by runaway teens in the 80s. The film captures that raw energy of New York City, filled with vibrant yet dangerous streets. It’s not just about crime; it’s more of a look into alienation and the desperate choices kids make. The pacing feels deliberate, interspersed with moments of chaos that echo the turbulent lives of its characters. Performances are a mixed bag, but there's something about those young actors that brings authenticity to their roles. The practical effects aren’t overdone, which kind of adds to that real-life feel. The underbelly of Times Square is presented starkly, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of TV movies.
