Marc F @RT33890785 Dec 13, 2025 A classic that my partner and I watch again every couple of years. It's amazing to see so many great actors in their early days taking on roles that feel so real and take you deep into this sad and chaotic world. This film makes you feel like you've spent time hopping trains and living under the Hollywood Freeway.

Still as good today. See more renee m @Reneelee Mar 27, 2024 Loved this movie since ‘94! What a cast! The story and acting are both powerful and eye opening. Watch this masterpiece. See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger Jan 22, 2024 This movie was undoubtedly made with the best of intentions, and there are definitely moments here and there that ring true, especially scenes involving Sean Astin, who gives the film's best performance and is the only character that seems grittily realstic throughout. Where the film faces an uphill battle, like most movies trying to portray the decay of society, is that it all just feels a bit too polished and almost glamorous. A scene in which some of the characters jump from a bridge to a moving train ends with two romantic lovebirds standing atop said train in each other's arms as if they were auditioning for Jack and Rose in TITANIC. Even the scenes involving extreme violence don't feel authentic. Minor characters are introduced and given a scene or two and then just seem to disappear. Unexpected cameo appearances by the likes of Nancy McKeon from THE FACTS OF LIFE (her brother executive produced the movie) and Alyssa Milano from WHO'S THE BOSS feel like gimicks. One is left recognizing how different they are than their television personas but not accepting them as actual characters. In fact the whole movie 30 years later feels more like an album of young, recognizable SAG actors. The ending is also a terrible misjudgment and feels like a cop out compared to what the rest of the film is trying to accomplish. See more the s @The_Stranger May 13, 2022 Despite all the star power crammed into this movie, it's still the picture of mediocrity. The storyline is like an after school special…generic street kid story that has all the stereotypical elements and zero flavor or spice. Even the actors seem unimpressed with what's going on where the dialogue is concerned. Everyone phoned it in on this one. And even though it had decent reviews (somehow) I'd never heard of it. The casting director really went for broke with the 90s version of the brat pack…everyone from Christian Slater to Balthazar Getty to Ricky Lake…still, it just didn't work on a critical level. It has flown under the radar for a reason. See more Read all reviews
