Deuces Wild
Deuces Wild is a 2002 action / drama / crime film directed by Scott Kalvert and written by Paul Kimatian and Christopher Gambale. It stars Stephen Dorff, Brad Renfro, and Fairuza Balk amongst others. The film is set in 1950s New York. It is believed that this film is strongly based on a 1961 gangster musical film West Side Story, except for 2 differences. First, the Jets are being replaced by the Deuces and the Sharks are being replaced by the Vipers. Secondly, unlike West Side Story, Deuces Wild is musicless.

Tagline: Before gangs had guns... they fought with guts.
