Fear City (1984)

 A psychotic starts cutting up, and later murdering strippers in NYC. Detective Billy De Williams is on the case, but will ex boxer Tom Berenger beat him to the punch? Director Able Ferrara's neo-noir, errotic thriller is simultaneously weighty, gritty, and pretty silly. Despite some early pretensions, this is not an exploitative art movie, it's an arty explotation movie. Digest that and its an entertaining watch. Lots of nudity. A young Melanie Griffith  is Berenger's love interest. ***
