    James Spader in baby-chick blond hair as a vicious thug. Nasty.

    This is a fun 80s teen movie. It has a decent story and lots of young James Spader.

    This movie was better than I thought it would be, plus one of my favourite bands played in a scene too! Spader's character is cool, and the story is good, even if it is sorta like Rebel Without a Cause.

    Some people call this classic, it wasn't nearly as good as I'd hoped, even with Spader and Downey.
