If you've ever heard of the movie Bad Boys you probably think of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. That movie was released in 1995, and what you may not know is there is another Bad Boys released in 1983.
The Bad Boys film I am talking about stars a young Sean Penn as Mick O'Brien, a 17 year old youth deviant caught in a world of crime. The movie follows Mick from the path of petty crimes to some serious "mistakes" that land him in a juvenile detention centre.
Director Rick Rosenthal tells a compelling and sophisticated story of misguided youth. From the hierarchy of inmates, to the psychotic motivations of revenge, each character shows a unique combination of youth vigor and innocence with adult fury.
As the story progresses the viewer becomes more intertwined in the politics of inmates and the rehabilitative attempts of the councilors trying to help O'Brien and his fellow convicts.
The adult themes, the exuberance of emotion and life, and the raw violence and rage in this film tell a truly passionate story that leaves viewers shocked and touched.
