Good movie but a bit thin at times. Was expecting it to be a bit grittier with the domestic violence throughout but only really comes in to full light at the end. One thing that bugs me is his scholarship, they will sus him out and realise in no time hes not academically equipped for the school?…

Such a lovely little film, Leo is so innocently bad-ass and tragically funny, the film is produced really well and I've re-watched it on mulpitle occassions. This is the film that certainly laid to Leo's career I think. A movie well ahead of it's time for 1993.
