A gang of assholes in a borstal, pardon me, in a youth detention center. The movie doesn’t shy away from showing the way to the top to rule over the "co-prisoners" or the final confrontation between the main antagonists which is raw and it simply doesn’t embellish anything. The hairy Sean Penn shows already at a very young age that he’s a hell of an actor.
