🎬  Un drame criminel réalisé par James Foley. Le film est inspiré d'une histoire vraie, celle du gang de Bruce Johnston Sr., un criminel notoire des années 1970. Le film est salué par la critique pour son atmosphère sombre et réaliste ainsi que pour les performances des acteurs principaux. Sean Penn, alors en pleine ascension dans sa carrière, livre une prestation poignante, incarnant un jeune homme tiraillé entre son désir de reconnaissance paternelle et sa conscience morale. Le film offre un regard intime sur les relations père-fils dans un cadre de criminalité, et il reste l'un des films marquants des années 1980 pour ceux qui apprécient les récits psychologiques intenses. 🎬 🎬 🎬
