Bad Boys (1983)
After killing an eight-year-old boy who happens to be Paco's brother, 16-year-old Irish-American hoodlum Mick O'Brien is sent to the Rainford Juvenile Correctional Facility rather than a state prison for adults. Vowing revenge, Paco rapes Mick's girlfriend, gets caught and sent to the same prison where he re-works his revenge plan, and Mick has no choice but to defend himself.

An underrated but excellent near masterpiece...

It eventually becomes nothing but ugly and sustains that quality to the bitter end.

Sean Penn pretty much explodes in this great (and often overlooked) visit to an ugly juvenile prison.

Gritty prison flick with a fine lead by Penn

An oxygenated, thoughtful alternative to the usual run of gangs-in-the-slammer movies.

strong performances led by Sean Penn in a role that solidified his status as the best young actor of the 1980s

"Bad Boys" misses its chance at greatness, but it's saying something that this movie had a chance. I have a notion it will stand as one of those bench-mark movies that we'll look back at for the talent it introduced.

A searing and gut-wrenching film, Bad Boys is to the 1980s what The Blackboard Jungle was to the 1950s.

Director Rick Rosenthal does a topnotch job of bringing to life the seedy, hopeless environment of a jail for juvenile offenders and has gotten some terribly convincing performances from his young cast, notably topliner Sean Penn.

Mediocre movie with excellent performance by Penn.
