Elisabeth H Oct 22 Csodálatos játék Aidan Quinn részéről. Sokatmondó alakítás, nagyon erős tanító jellege van ennek a karriernek! Nagyon szuper mondnivaló egy egyedülálló fiú részéről, akit nem érdekel mások véleménye, a múlt sodrata, és a jövőkép csodálatos! Csak szuperlatíviszokban lehet beszélni arcának, szemének játékáról! Olvasni lehet a gondolataiban. Kötelezővé tenném az általános iskolákban! Többet tanít a fiataloknak, mint némely szülő! See more Sean G Jan 5 4.5 stars - but with a catch.... There are many versions of 80's teenaged-movies out of Hollywood. Most seem to represent the sunny West Coast or zany hijinks out of Chicago suburbs. This movie is neither. Instead, Reckless perfectly captures the dreary grey of midwest winter in a dead-end town - backdropped by dying American industry/manufacturing (this pre-dates the "Rust Belt" moniker but the writing was clearly on the wall). It is similar, in many ways, to All The Right Moves - both focus on teenaged angst and escaping the ever-present and unshakeable doom of the factory...where dreams and ambition die. The cast is incredible. The music is amazing. The script is meh. If you're looking for a great movie, this isn't it. However, if you grew up in an industrial, midwestern town in the 80s, this will hit surprisingly close to home. The mood will stick with you... See more Steve D 08/24/2023 The cast makes it worth it. See more John D 01/29/2023 Just watched it for the first time in 30 plus years. Not only is it better than any of those 80s movies but really loved how much Quinn's character was so powerful!!! Definitely brandoesque and James Deanish!! Also, Daryl Hannah is absolutely stunning, beautiful, and smoking hot!! Loved,loved,loved it!! I don't know what anyone's talking about when they the director Foley was embarrassed by this movie??? See more dave s 01/30/2022 Tracey (Daryl Hannah) is a high school senior who is intent on doing the right thing. Johnny (Aidan Quinn), on the other hand, is a morose outsider who wants more out of life, coming across as a mix of Brando and James Dean. Reckless is the classic and often retold story of disparate characters falling in love and trying to deal with the ramifications of their passion. Unfortunately, it's a wildly inconsistent film. At times, it is visually stunning with great dialogue, strong performances from the two leads, a handful of truly moving scenes, and a stellar soundtrack that helps capture the angst of the protagonists. However, elsewhere in the film, the dialogue is stilted, the music score is distracting, the performances of the secondary cast are embarrassing, and the whole thing has the vibe of something you've seen countless times before. Is it worth watching? Sure, but expect to be disappointed…at least some of the time. See more 05/19/2020 I remember back in mid 1984 renting this movie more than once because I found it gritty and interesting and wanting to cheer for the outcast high-school motorcycle guy who had everything stacked up against him but did not give up. Although it follows a plot style that some will say was very typical, I found it to be refreshing and different if a little dark and brooding. And? Heck it's got Daryl Hannah and hard not to like that! See more Read all reviews
