Rooftops (1989)
T, as most of his friends, lives in a self-constructed 'house', built on top of an old building in the city. Their one passion is 'combat'. Combat is a dance/streetfight during which the contestants try to push each other out of the arena, while not allowed to actually touch each other. When drugdealers move into the neighbourhood and kill T's best friend he embarks on a mission to eradicate the drug-presence in the neigbourhood. His friends are reluctant to help though, knowing what happened to T's friend when he crossed them.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
