Description: This is an enjoyable flick about hookers. But what film about hookers isn’t enjoyable? Not too dissimilar from Vice Squad, Streewalkin’ is an evening in the life of a young hooker running from her killer pimp. It’s got a great cast with Antonio Fargas (Foxy Brown), Leon Robinson, Julie Newmar, Greg Germann, a very young Randall Batinkoff, Dale Midkiff (who starred in Heatwave) and Melissa Leo and her tiny titties.
Here’s what you get:
- Killer Pimps
- Prostitutes
- BOOBIES!!!
- Less Than Respectful Treatment of the Ladies
- HUGGY BEAR!!!
- Strippers
- THAT DUDE FROM BAND OF THE HAND!!!
- Pimp Attire
- Times Square of Yesteryear
Personally I find the editorial content suggesting that the life of a hooker is less than fully consensual and glamorous a bit off putting. Further, the film fails to fully appreciate that it’s hard out here for a pimp, when he tryin’ to get this money for the rent, for the cadillac and gas money spent, will cause whole lot of bitches jumpin’ ship. So basically I’m just axin’ for a little understanding. In any event, it’s a gritty, enjoyable drama about life on the streets for a young hooker trying to care for herself and her little brother in a world full of sexual deviants and crazed, jealous, killer pimps. Good flick and decent commentary to boot.

Homeless teen falls victim to an insidious pimp, right in the first 10 minutes – and that pretty much sums it up. The actors are good, giving their all, every scene is played intense. But that cannot cope with so very little plot. The film is straining nerves, mostly because it seems never to come to an end.
The teenage-girl copes becoming a hooker just like that – and only when her lover aka pimp beats another girl she suddenly feels troubled – that made me lose interest soon enough. Oh, and unlike in the description above there’s no display of boobies so far.
