  • Brutal

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By Mark MacMillan from Scotland , 01 Jan 2006

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Definately NOT to be confused with the garbage of the same name - this is a grim but fascinating movie featuring the best acting you will get from a young actor (sean penn when he was 20 or so). Set in a juvenile detention centre, all the problems that such a place has are shown in unflinching fashion. Basically this is a forgotten gem with none of the hollywood trappings of Tom Cruises early tripe for example which is required to sustain these movies beyond the 80s. You wont be dissappointed ... kinda like an American Scum if you will

    I always enjoy a film with Sean Penn in it, as he is a great actor. A very young Penn doing a great acting job. This film did not dissapoint.

    But not great. Seems to have been loosely based on 'Scum' starring Ray Winstone. Good performance by Sean Penn.
