Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Bad Boys is a very gritty and tough action/drama starring Sean Penn as a young criminal who ends up in reform school. Sean is very good here and totally believable as juvenile delinquent and bad kid from the wrong side of the tracks. The film is taken from his point of view and humanizes the kids that society locks up and tries to forget about. The support cast is strong with Ally Sheedy as O'Brian's girl, Reni Santoni as juvenile detention officer, Alan Ruck of Ferris Bueller fame as Mick's buddy, Esai Morales as his nemesis and Clancy Brown with an awesome early performance as heavy Viking. Bad Boys plays as a very authentic juvenile jailhouse rock film. There is real good performances and depth to the material. Bad Boys is a very tough and violent movie that gives a pretty accurate portrayal of what these wayward boys must endure. In this setting, only the strong survive. Sean Penn is very convincing and is a very different character than he previously portrayed as Spiccoli in Fast Times In Ridgemont High. He showed early on that he is very talented and he has a lot of range. Bad Boys is classic and one of my favorite films that Sean Penn has done.

Bad Boys (no, not the Michael Bay 1995 film), is an underrated prison drama that is very interesting and entertaining. No it's not Shawshank Redemption, but it doesn't have to be. This film has it's own charms and it's almost relatable. We have come to care about all the juveniles in the film. While we are not sympathetic to their actions, we come to see that many of the people do have good sides. That being said, this drama becomes predictable at certain moments, but the execution of the film is flawless so we have come to forgive these predictable moments.Rick Rosenthal's film is about a thug named O'Brien who has been sentenced to a juvenile prison after a robbery of a drug dealer goes wrong and results in the death of more than one person. O'Brien quickly rises in the juvenile system, but everything will change when the fore-mentioned drug dealer is sentenced to the same ward at the juvenile prison.This is the film that gave Sean Penn his excellent career. Sean Penn was excellent as O'Brien and he gave such a fierce, commanding performance. We also get some great supporting turns by unknowns. Reni Santoni does a great job as the strict, but fair counselor. O'Brien's bunkmate played by Eric Gurry was excellent as well.Overall, Bad Boys in a criminally underseen film that is powerful to watch as we see the rehabilitation of a boy who may learned from his mistakes. It gets predictable in the final half, but it still is really great to watch since it was firmly executed. This is one underrated prison film that lives on Sean Penn's majestic performance. I rate this film 9/10.

It's pretty dark and definitely of the "gritty and important" genre, but I enjoyed it. Well, I should say I was satisfied. Basic plot rundown: 1) kid going down the wrong path, has a girlfriend, friend and rival. 2) Heist goes wrong, friend dies, hero accidentally kills little brother of rival. 3) Hero goes to prison. Interesting characters there. Finds a new friend and some new enemies. 4) Deals with enemies (though not completely), friend is kind of awesome. 5) Out of prison rival sexually assaults and nearly kills girlfriend then ends up in same juvey facility as hero 6) Tension mounts! 7) Climactic battle! In a moment I didn't really know which way they would go, Hero decides not to kill Rival. End. No wrap up with girlfriend (in fact, he burns his picture of her before the final battle). No leaving prison to reform. Very interesting.It was a little flabby in the middle (though I imagine that's an era thing), and the writing felt a little...forced to me. The kids sounded like they were TRYING to be cool, rather than being cool. But again, that might have been purposeful or even just a problem of it being an older moving (I'm seeing it for the first time in 2014). The performances were just excellent, and it's nice to see where Sean Penn probably came from. I quite enjoyed it though I said it was dark and long enough that you weren't looking for happiness in the end, just resolution and some satisfaction. Both delivered.

I look at this as a sequel to Fast Times at Ridgement High(1982). Jeff Spicoluoi has graduated from high school. Jennifer Jason Leigh is nowhere to be seen, Mr. Hand is dead, and Judge Reinhold is trapped inside Fred Savage's little preteen body. Jeff Spicoluoi has been kicked out of his parents' house for not having a job, the mean, tough, rough, wrong kind of love from any parent to any son or daughter, whether we as a son and daughter are adopted, a stepson or stepdaughter, or a real son and daughter belonging to real parents, a real Daddy and Mommy, Dad and Mom, Pa and Ma, Pops and Momma, WRONG! Wrong, wrong what I just said before. With no money to buy the stuff he was seen smoking in Fast Times at Ridgement High(1982), that stuff he was seen smoking was called pot, his dreams of being a star surfer go away, the dreams of being a star surfer go up in smoke, there's no more dreams of being a star surfer for Jeff Spicoluoi, because Jeff Spicoluoi does not have the smoking stuff to smoke out of his mouth, what we all as people like to call pot, the stuff that people smoke, because Jeff Spicoluoi is not alone. Everyone here on this world and planet here we call Earth smokes pot. That's why in Fast Times at Ridgement High(1982), in the movie we saw, Spicoluoi was a star surfer, Jeff Spicoluoi was smoking pot. Jeff Spicoluoi in this movie here I'm writing about on the computer, Bad Boys(1983), Jeff Spicoluoi has no pot, so he turns to and does bad stuff, because Jeff Spicoluoi does not have pot, Jeff Spicoluoi turns to and does crime. Jeff Spicoluoi gets tossed in jail because of crime, and Jeff Spicoluoi keeps pulling the punches, like another Irish guy in another movie, Jimmy Cagney in White Heat(1949). Jeff Spicoluoi gets out of jail, marries and divorces Madonna, works for the LAPD, and wins a couple of Oscars. A regret free life for Mr. Jeff Spicoluoi.
