A crime film directed by Rick Rosenthal, starring Sean Penn.
A young man is sent to juvenile prison because he ran over a fellow criminal's brother while being pursued by the cops. He beats up the lead prisoners and takes their place with his cellmate. They try to escape after he hears that an enemy raped his girlfriend and he makes it all the way to her home before being captured. The enemy whose brother he killed and who raped his girlfriend is then sentenced to a prison stay in the same dormitory.
Sean Penn plays the opposite role in this film from what he did in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. He's quiet and serious as opposed to jovial and talkative. The characters in this were good and the plot kept me interested. The style was necessarily dark. I'm rating it good.
