Sean Penn is simply ACES in my book. Even as a younger actor in this role, he shows his evident talent. Great story line & plot. Recognized a lot of the "younger actors". Just a good solid flick with the back drop of juvenile hall. This is one of my new favorites. The final scene is very well executed. The music score by Bill Conti (well known for the "Rocky" movie musical scores) makes this movie grade A and 5 star worthy. I highly recommend! Warning - there is a good deal of violence. Sean Penn, I adore you 😃

Good price. i loved this movie growing up. TBS seemed to own the Rights to the movie or something. When i was little i thought Viking put the booger in his own food and ate it. For many many years I went around believing that.
