Alain E Definitely watchable. Especially good the dark tones cinematography. The final fight is way too long and only a fool would be stabbed in the thigh and limp away without seeking medical attention.

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).
