Being an early favorite of when I first discovered the potential of Sean Penn.
Really gritty film centered around some youths that are ‘raging against the machine’ and learned to fend for themselves on the street.It’s a good film if you can appreciate it in it’s own time and merit.
Sean Penn is “O’Brien” who is sent down for the accidental killing of an eight year old lad. His time in prison subjects him to the usual pressures and bullying but he allies with the shrewd electronics whizz “Horowitz” (Eric Gurry) and slowly but surely starts to learn the ropes, turn the tables and thrive. When he learns that the older brother of the dead boy has seriously assaulted his girlfriend “JC” (a few, sparing, contributions from Ally Sheedy) and is now incarcerated in the same institution, a deadly reckoning is on the cards with “Paco” (Esai Morales). Penn never did shy away from the grittier roles and here he carries off his part quite efficiently, though without much sparkle, but the rest of the cast – especially prison scumbag “Lofgren” (the always one-dimensional Clancy Brown) – really only make up the numbers as this predictable and rather plodding two hours of slowly building revenge drama heads to it’s inevitable conclusion. It might have been more impactful at the time, but forty years on it is a wordy variation on a well travelled theme that is easy to watch and just as easy to forget.
Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatcha Gonna Do
Bad Boys and The Falcon And The Snowman are the first film that Sean Penn was taken seriously as an actor and not just a James Dean wannabe. A lot of people with that rebel persona have come and gone, but Penn’s proved to have staying power in his adult roles.But it was a part like Mick O’Brien, kid from the mean streets of Chicago that first attracted the movie going public to Sean Penn. Bad Boys is not your usual teen dream Brat Pack film. Penn’s representative of some of the baddest of the bad from the Eighties.
Penn’s a high school kid from Chicago, but the kind who only goes to school on occasion, maybe to get messages from his hoodlum friends. A heist he plans goes horribly wrong and the little brother of another tough kid, Esai Morales, is accidentally killed simply for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
That last crime finally puts him in reform school and of course Morales winds up there as well. That’s after raping Ally Sheedy who is Penn’s girl friend. That sets up the final confrontation between them.
Bad Boys is one of a long line of films going back to Wild Boys Of The Road dealing with the juvenile delinquent problem and the incarceration thereof. It’s interesting how rape is used as a weapon in two instances here and how it’s thought of that way. Morales rapes Sheedy as a way of getting back at Penn and in the reformatory the two who run the cell block where Penn and later Morales is put, Robert Lee Rush and Clancy Brown, use it as a way of establishing their authority.
Brown who will tell you this is a method of enforcement belies his own gay nature with those muscle pictures in his cell. And O’Brien’s cellmate, Eric Gurry is also a latent case, maybe more. His performance in many ways is the most interesting in the film. He’s a nerdy kid who happens to be one unusual inmate for the place. He’s been picked on and in retaliation bombed a bowling alley where his tormentors were hanging out. Not too many kids his age have the scientific knowledge to pull off that and what we see him do here.
Still the film builds up to the climax between Penn and Morales and Bad Boys does not disappoint in the end. Bad Boys might have some charter Brat Pack members in the cast, but John Hughes wouldn’t be doing a project like this.
Sean Penn great in prison exploitation movie
Mick O’Brien (Sean Penn) is a juvenile delinquent. Paco Moreno (Esai Morales) picks on his girlfriend J.C. Walenski (Ally Sheedy). He decides to hold up Paco with his best friend Carl Brennan (Alan Ruck). It goes horribly as Carl and Paco’s little brother are both killed. Mick is placed in juvenile prison and befriends cellmate Horowitz. Viking Lofgren (Clancy Brown) and Tweety are the boys in charge. He takes them on and becomes the top dog. His case worker Ramon Herrera (Reni Santoni) tries to reform him. Paco brutally rapes J.C. and is sent to the same prison. Paco faces off against Mick with the help of Viking and Tweety.This is a gritty prison movie that is more like a 70s exploitation movie. The big reason to see this is Sean Penn. He showed great range coming off of ‘Fast Times at Ridgemont High’. He is both the troubled kid and the sweet kid. He’s the delinquent you want to save but is also liable to strike out at you.
