Bad Boys

This is the flick that convinced me that Sean Penn is a real actor (after Fast Times at Ridgemont High). Unlike Will Smith's Bad Boys, this film disturbed me from the moment Sean Penn arrived on the scene. Great actors have to prove that they can be downright dangerous when necessary (see Dustin Hoffman in Straw Dogs). Worth seeing just to see Penn emerge as an actor with teeth, chops, grit, or whatever term you prefer.
