The body language and choreography are off the charts fantastic. You can FEEL that they all are on the verge of spontaneous combustion, full of such passion and anxiety that it can only be expressed through intense movement. And their traumatized moods are reflected by the dark, creepy parking garage. A masterpiece of cinema.

The switch of Krupke and Cool is something that should be reflected in all of the stage productions of the show. It makes much, much, much more sense. With Krupke, they were kids...punks griping about the cops. In Cool, they witnessed the murders of Riff and Nardo and had to grow up in a hurry, and the song reflects this.

It makes sense that they switched it for the movie. If you think about, a group of kids on the run from the cops after witnessing 2 murders, are not likely to stop around the fence and sing some silly comedic number. What they would do, is sing Cool.

@Stephen Treadwell "Nardo" is Bernardo's nickname. We hear both Anita and Maria call him that a few times
