Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Pure genius this movie is one of the best ever. Mostly because of Maxwell Caulfield's outstanding performance words cant describe how good he captured the mind of a sociopath. I was totally blown away by this movie when I saw it for the first time about a year ago. This movie was never accepted by the mainstream mostly because they cant relate and they never will. But those who can will love this film there's no one like it and its mostly because of Caulfield's performance. I have never seen anyone play a sociopath more convincing.Roy-"That motherf*cker... is the one who will keep us from going anywhere"

Roy and his hetero life-mate Bo are psychopaths who have a night of killing in LA. This movie, while not that great, is still good and MILES above the very over-rated crap fest that was "Natural Born Killers". Penelope Spheeris does a pretty good job directing and Charlie Sheen plays Bo low-key to nice effect. This is also the only film I can stand Maxwell Caulfield in, so don't even mention "Grease 2", "Empire Records" or any of his other less-then-stellar (to put them VERY mildly) movies to me. Plus I like pretty much everything that Glen Morgan and James Wong write, well they only have one bad film to their credit. Or rather their only bad film is "The One". Thankfully this is not "the One" Look for Moon Unit Zappa in a small role.My Grade: B- Anchor Bay DVD Extras: Commentary with Penelope and Maxwell; Cast and crew info; and Theatrical Trailer

ok, for the fans of quality entertainment, i recomend this movie. this one has superb quality action. plenty of beatings, punishment and domination to go around. since plent of other viewers have explained the basics of the film, i will spare the details. i cant recomend this movie if you are too uptight and take yourself too seriously- remember this is only a movie. folks who found movies like a clockwork orange and barfly disturbing will not be able to get any laughs out of this either. those movies are great too!. i will soon own this on dvd b ecause of the funny moments and the excellent violence. these two guys bo and roy, dish out some serious pain and suffering in l.a.you must see this movie.

This movie is 80's gem as for as sheer cinema terror goes. This is an extremely violent movie about two mean-spirited teens that some will discard as sick. But the movie is much more than that. It is a look at what people are truly capable of. This film has captured the essence of violence because the frightening thing is that the two boys don't really have an excuse to do the things they do. They're just plain evil. You want to feel sorry for Charlie Sheen but you just can't. And Maxwell Caulfield can't possibly be redeemed. Their theory of Caveman Day where one just lets loose is taken to the extreme. Caveman Day seems like a good idea until you see what the characters do to others, and the consequences they must face.
