By the numbers character study of teen angst set in a juvenile detention facility. The DVD blurb declares Sean Penn as "the greatest actor of his generation", and he really lays it on thick in several scenes here...glowering, jaw clenching, crying, moody nostril flaring, etc. He even swings a pillowcase full of soda cans at a homosexual rapist played by a mincing Clancy Brown sporting a huge blonde mullet. Now that's quality acting.

There is only two Sean Penn movies that I legitimately dig and this is one of them (well, three if you count Team America: World Police). Penn's cellmate is a straight G.

Decent for a feature on troubled and rebellious youth. Its explanation for the kids' sociopathic and nihilistic behavior is pretty skimpy, but I don't know whether that should count for it or against it considering the really simplistic moralizing found in other films. I do know that this feels pretty exploitative in parts, but it manages to be good, albeit a bit shallow, entertainment.

Well... I figured out long ago that the overwhelming majority of juvenile offenders are sociopathic little creeps who ought to be locked away somewhere so they can only victimize each other. I don't want to see a movie about them. Almost all the characters here are exactly that, including the protagonist. Only Eric Gurry as Horowitz saves this movie from being two hours of GRIM AND UNRELENTING (just like Rosenthal's other movie, _Halloween II_); Horowitz is at least a smart, likable sociopath

It's obviously an 80s film, I loved the pointless explosion when Penn just drives his car over that kid. A lot of it doesn't make sense yet I enjoyed seeing a young Sean Penn and it's a good movie if you don't analyze it too much. I was hoping this would be straight up mindless fun cause of the plot summary: Mick O'Brien plays by the rules - THE WRONG RULES. I love me some 80's cheese.

Average film that stole quite a bit from the british film Scum.If you want to see a proper film about Juvenile detention see Scum a far superior film.
