Strong prison drama with a still young Sean Penn, who plays the role of young street criminal O'Brien and ends up in a closed penal institution after a crime that got out of hand (in which a child accidentally dies). A person does not get better there: he has to compete with other inmates and stand his ground. Bad Boys has a gritty, violent, some would say clichéd, prison atmosphere. However, the film does not fall into all traps and involves a few twists that make the film finish as it should: Penn's girlfriend, Paco Moreno and prison staff who have a human side. This is indeed the better prison movie.

Good eighties prison film, which deviated from the genre because the staff were not even portrayed as corrupt, indifferent or incompetent fools. For the rest it was a fairly hard film, this film accelerated Penn's career. Not only from Penn, Brown also developed after this film as a gifted actor who already has many good supporting roles to his name.

Rosenthal was predicted to have a great career after this film, a pity that he then chose very commercially by working in the TV world.

The film exudes a violent, gloomy atmosphere and also has few positive moments, but that makes this film stand out above the standard prison films.

A tough and realistic prison film.

A young Sean Penn who plays very strong in this film, other famous actors Ramon Herrera and Clancy Brown... .

Recommended for fans of raw violence.
