His self-centered parents are too preoccupied with their own personal problems to help. After he clashes with the police, Tim's parents send him to a juvenile detention facility, where he is treated like a dangerous prisoner. There he meets Dr. Charles Loftis (Donald Sutherland), a dedicated psychologist who fights back against the rigid institution and tries to help Tim.

All of these qualities make Lost Angels, which was directed by Hugh Hudson, into an intelligent, well-crafted picture. And yet while I was watching it, I remained strangely unmoved. Go to Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) 06/15/2022
Weller's script is so disjointed it seems to be missing pieces, as Hudson's direction is an absolute oversight….here everything is wrong. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 07/16/2005
