**_Two fugitive girls’ odyssey into the sleazy underbelly of a city_**

Shot in early summer, 1984, “Certain Fury” is an urban crime drama/thriller, released the next year, that combines the basic plot of “The Defiant Ones” with elements of later movies, like “Switchblade Sisters” and “The Warriors.” Relatively realistic, it has superior actors to “Switchblade Sisters” and lacks the surrealness of “Warriors,” yet it’s not as compelling as either and opts for wallowing in the seedy side of the Big City. But I liked the long sewer sequence, the nod to hellish perdition, and the somewhat moving climax.

Tatum O'Neal is effective as the streetwise sex worker, neck-deep into drugs, while Irene Cara’s character is more winsome and naïve. Cara was known for playing Coco in “Fame” and as the singer of “Flashdance... What a Feeling.” Neither of them went on to a notable acting career. 

It runs 1 hour, 27 minutes, and was shot in Vancouver.
