Mick O'Brien (Sean Penn) is a Chicago lowlife who spends his nights mugging people. His world is torn apart when he accidentally kills the younger brother of a small-time drug dealer (Esai Morales). He then has to adjust to life in a juvenile prison; things get really sticky when Paco (Morales) rapes Mick's girlfriend (Ally Sheedy) and is sent to the EXACT SAME PRISON. And, as you can expect, they both want their revenge...
Tough as nails, hard-hitting, impressive tale of youth gone wild. This film is really entertaining and features an impressive group of actors. (Look for Alan Ruck of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Spin City" in an early role as an associate of Mick's who participates in an ill-fated robbery attempt.)
Overall, I liked it very much. It was certainly good enough to leave a lasting impression on me.
My rating is eight out of ten.
