Carson P It’s like the filmmakers saw the future and decided to try the steal the name from the 1995 masterpiece before it was made this bad boys didn’t impress me at all other than the presence of Sean penn this movie is an uninspired third rate rehash of 1960s crime dramas in the end just watch the will smith Martin Lawrence action comedy that one is way better than this empty shell of a drama 4/10 Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Director Rick Rosenthal covers the life of a young man in very deep A very young Sean Penn as Mick is part of a group of bad boys on the streets Car thefts, money, beatings are what he and his boys do best He has a girlfriend J.C. who doesn't want anything to happen to him But he lands in jail after killing a member of a warring drug gang lead by Paco He's in with other criminals; he can either follow the rules and do his time to walk free or face growing old behind bars forever Paco in the meantime decides to take revenge going after the ones Mick cares about This movie is far too long and is an unpleasant watch But you get some very convincing performances from everyone in a very grimy and hopeless environment behind these jail cells of young offenders who just want an easier lifestyle Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Erock Very gritty look at teen delinquents in the inner city of Chicago. Great acting and story line. Definite must see Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/08/23 Full Review Tic Toc M Saw it on cable when I was a kid, soon after it came out. It was ok, it was never a "great" movie. For a much better 1983 "bad boy" movie: Coppola's "Rumble Fish" (with a stacked cast). Or if you're looking for something else from 1983 that was aimed at the young: "Risky Business" has held up surprisingly well, one of the few of those teen sex comedies that have. Both of those 1983 films are acted well, written well, great scores, great direction (especially the Coppola film). They're both cinematic, and one-of-a-kind. "Bad Boys" is just not in that category. I just threw "Bad Boys" on now after having not seen it since probably 1985, tops. At first, I thought it might have held up ok - albeit with caveats! But once they got to the high school and Ally Sheedy and the horrible Bill Conti music, I realized this was past its sell-date! The kid from "Author Author" is in it, I had forgotten about that. He was a good actor. The acting is great, everyone is giving 100%, and I can see the filmmakers were trying. But this is only to be watched if you're doing some kind of analysis of "the Brat Pack" or early 80s teen movies, or Sean Penn's early career (of which this was definitely one of his major early roles, along with "Taps", "Falcon & The Snowman", etc).
