VHS Movie Reviews of Bad Boys
Movie Review: The only TRUE Bad Boys movie to me!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was one of my favorites when I was younger and I'm happy to see that I still enjoy it. Sean Penn's performance was great in this film. To include everyone else. It has a very good dark atmosphere, solid acting, and action.
Bad Boys of course stars Sean Penn as a lunatic delinquent. He pulls off a crime that kills a young kid and lands him in a youth prison. He has to put up with the other inmates plus fight for his life later.
This is a very exciting movie and I recommend this to those especially who are fans of 80's films. The DVD extras aren't that great. Containing just the trailer and commentary.
Movie Review: The Real Bad Boys Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing this movie as a youngster and loved the fact that it was raw and in your face! (one I remebered into adulthood) I had my three boys watch this flick along with the Warriors, Cool Hand Luke and Papillon. This is the true Bad Boys not that Will Smith Hollywood BS. The scene with the coke cans in the pillow case is one to remember!!! You the MAN O'Brian!!!Movie Review: INTERESTING YOUTH PRISON FILM WITH AN EARLY SEAN PENN PERFORMANCE!
Summary: 4 Stars
Bad Boys...Bad Boys, watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do when they come for you! This early 80's film about a youth reform school for really bad boys is very entertaining and full of familiar faces. Penn gives another great performance as a young punk heading straight for the "big house". The film is dark,gritty and feels true for the most part but, there is some unintentional laughter regarding some prison policies. The DVD transfer is very good with very little extras including a commentary and trailer.Movie Review: "Bad" Script/Acting
Summary: 1 Stars
Sean Penn is overexposed nd overrated but certainly has proved self capable in other outings. He fails here first as the "hard delinquent" whose enviroment led to his crimes and second as the "sensitive inmate" who sees the light and just wants to go home.
Eric Gurry appears as Horowitz, playing the Jewish stereotype- craftiness and comic relief - a stupid casting attempt at lightening a grim reformatory flick.
While Penn is unbuyable as Chicago street tough, he is worse in a scene where he expresses sorrow over a family tragedy.Penn was lucky people liked his Jeff Spicoli character enough for Hollywood to give him another chance in "At Close Range", a much better outing for Mr.Penn.
Movie Review: HOROWITZ ALL THE WAY!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
My favorite character (played by Eric Gurry) in this emotion-packed, action-packed prison drama.
Loved it when Horowitz starts a food fight/riot in the mess hall and practically goes bonkers with the
joy of it. A real blast.
There is a fight scene in this flick that entails a pillow case filled with canned sodas that is worth the price of admission alone.
It's hard to believe that the same guy who directed the lame Halloween II directed this hard-hitting punks-in -trouble flick--but he did.
Definitely worth seeing. Ally Sheedy, Sean Penn do good work. Reni Santoni is also excellent here.
Summary of Bad Boys
Sean Penn delivered a star-making one-two punch in the early '80s, debuting as stoner Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and turning up only a few months later, all but unrecognizable, as a steel-nerved teenage convict in this raw, powerful prison drama--and both performances hold up remarkably well. While the story line of Bad Boys has the familiar contours of classic jailhouse melodrama (Penn's fearless Mick stands tall against a bullying Latino gang boss played by Esai Morales), the sense of tightly wound raw force the actor conveys is so convincing that it's actually a little scary. It goes way beyond the blunt-force impact of a standard action star; Mick's acts of violence are expressions of personality, practically eruptions of his life force. The authenticity of this portrayal is reinforced by the closely observed production design: the youth-prison set is so cunningly textured that many moviegoers took it for the real thing. Ally Sheedy also made her film debut in Bad Boys, as the girl Mick leaves behind on the outside. --David ChuteAction & Adventure Video
