Low melodrama in high school, with a gang of greasy-haired toughs, whose leader is out of the Vic Morrow school of acting, extorting bus fares and lunch money from the wimps and runts of the sophomore class, until a new prep-school transfer decides to fight back by enlisting the help of a hulking loner with a deep, dark secret and a shuddersome reputation. Tony Bill's directorial debut has a rather sickening determination to ingratiate itself, and what he hopes will pass as simple charm ought instead to be flunked as dishonesty. The hulk, a new screen face named Adam Baldwin, is quite nice whenever he is obliged to open his mouth and stop looking merely hulkish. With Chris Makepeace, Matt Dillon, Martin Mull, and Ruth Gordon. (1980) — Duncan Shepherd
