Review of Bad Boys

Bad Boys (1983)
Americas Juvenile Crime,
27 October 2003
In this Film you are not going to see the usual American Kids they want you to see,but you will see the more Real and less unfortunate ones. We have to admit that America is not very keen in this subject (Juvenile Delinquents,Petty Crime)as Spain is, but this movie is not that bad. Mick O`brian (Sean Penn) is a tough street kid trying to survive the best way he can and knows.Living a life of crime as in mugging,bag snatching,car thefts and armed robbery`s,he will stop at nothing to keep the only things his got,his liberty and the love of his girlfriend J.C. (Ally Sheedy).But his luck will change when he is sent to a juvenile prison for armed robbery and murder.There he will experience the horrors behind bars,and meet new enemies.

This film is not so realistic as it should be,but its still quite entertaining.Its also quite brutal and dramatic. Juvenile Delinquency is a very interesting subject for movie making,but only with the right Director and screen writers.

7/10.
