Mike is the 100pc standout star of WSS2. I've seen the original 1961 movie at least 50 times and nobody in this magical classic touches Mike's performance. He greatly disturbed me as Riff and his touching feral personna has stayed with me for days. I will definitely go see it again quite soon.

So greatl to have seen them both in their respective Broadway shows and now stars in this beautiful film. As a long time WSS fan who has seen the original countless times and 3 different stage adaptions, job well done. Mike was a gritty and perfect Riff.

Although Mike doesn't look like a real street gang type, I was surprised how good this kid was in that role. He was nevertheless a great casting, everything else about him was fantastic, his dancing, his energy, his body language, mannerism, personality, was definitely a good self confident and deluded sociopath punk and he deserved the academy award for that performance. I look forward to him being so cool in future flicks..

If you get the 2021 WWS Blue Ray, or possibly regular DVD, they have INCREDIBLE Behind the Scenes footage for the Song "Cool", among lots of other Songs and vital parts in the Movie/Story! It's TOTALLY worth it and HIGHLY fascinating! For "Cool" they made real holes in the Wood where they Dance back and forth and play "keep away" with the Gun, but the actual holes with the Water showing through, are "Green-Screened out" so that there's no danger of falling through, Thankfully! It's still VERY realistic and "tricks the eye" in the BEST possible way! I wondered the very same thing when I first saw this Version last December in the Theater and even more so when I finally recently got it for an early Birthday gift from my Sister and could pause, watch this particular scene over and over and check for "clues", etc. and of course with the "Behind the Scenes" documentary of this INCREDIBLE highlight of the Film, could actually SEE and discover just HOW they did all the "effects"! WELL worth it!! Hope this helps!
