Solid teenage prison drama. The characters and their interactions felt real, and some good performances are given. Penn is a standout and his arc as this kid in juvie is convincing.

I used to watch this movie back in 1984 every weekend on VHS. It’s been 37 years and. I can still say it’s a pretty good movie except I didn’t find Sean Pean as tough as I remembered…. It’s an age thing but wow…. A blast from the past for me!

It’s a good film if you can appreciate it in it’s own time and merit.

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 an More
