(1984) Reckless
DRAMA
A total outcast Johnny (Aidan Quinn's movie debut) getting connected with well groomed teenager cheerleader Tracy(Daryl Hannah)! One of the benefits about watching a film when you're older as opposed to still being in your teens is that sometimes watching one scene throughout a film can sometimes foreshadow the overall film! In this case it's the eroticism chemistry with it's cheesy lines between Tracy (Hannah) and Johnny (Quinn) that stands out the most which is probably the reason why George Kennedy before killed on a plane accident at one time went out with Daryl Hannah was because of seeing this film! But on my second viewing and a lot older, the overall film is not very good at all and it's a lot to do with the character Aiden Quinn portrays whose supposed to be extremely rebellious but as a result for his actions such as vandalizing a school, break and enter a school and burning down a house, they're no consequences! Besides "A Rebel Without A Cause" this movie also has taken some of it's themes from "Valley Girl" as well, except Valley Girl is more credible in terms of it's characters and it's situations where the story also involves family and friends intervention creating obstacles in the main characters whereas in "Reckless" their aren't any intervention from anybody at all and at times seem airless, except from the boyfriend who intervenes just because... which means that all the characters surrounding the two lovebirds are all rather shallow making the overall story about street "bum" who has no money because he has no job( but was somehow able to pay for gas on his motorcycle), no high school degree, Johnny played by Aiden Quinn runs away with privileged and fortunate school girl Tracy! Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
