Underrated Classic!

Reckless is a underrated, overlooked classic. Movie stars Adain Quinn as Johnny in his break out role & Daryl Hannah early in her career plays Tracey.The movie takes place in a cold, gray, smoggy depressing looking steel town somewhere in Pennsylvania. Johnny is a troubled smart ass rebel with a alcholic father, no friends & a mother who abandoned the family for reasons that are not clear. Tracey is a pretty & popular cheerleader with a loving upper middle class family & is planning on attending college in the fall. But something is missing for Tracey her boyfriend & friends are boring.... She is seeking the danger, excitement & mystery that Johnny can provide. In class they exchange glances at each other. A charity dance pairs Tracey with Johnny by chance. Their chemistry is instant.They fall quickly in love & lust. They can't stay away from each other. They have to have each other. You can feel Johnny's obsession with Tracey. This film contains more than one scene of the sexiest, most graphic, explicit & passionate sex scenes allowed in a R rated film. Full frontal nudity. A excellent Bob Segar soundtrack adds to the film. The ending really leaves it up to you.I would really recommend tracking this film down - it won't disappoint.I would love to see a DVD of this film complete with extra deleted scenes of the couple. This is one of my favorite all time movies.
