There are several wildly implausible events (the Everglades Scared Straight program for a start or that the teens really do change or how Joe decides to handle the gang) for modern audiences to sneer at but this is much better than its 80's peers. It's in the many details specific to Miami & VERY unusual turns like how it jumps from Dirty Dozen drama to Give-Delinquents-A-Chance messaging to revenge shoot-em-up. Most surprising: the teen girl isn't portrayed as sullied & is allowed revenge!

Eighties in every way it's worth watching for the sheer cheese and appearances from some familiar faces.
