Bad boys game free9/6/2023 Morales took what could have been a one-note role and turned it into a caricature of a revenge-bent punk, but his talent even back then was clear that he was up to the challenge of putting emotion into the role and bringing some sympathy to Paco's plight. After seeing Penn as Jeff Spiccolli in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High," I was amazed by his range in this film (although he was excellent in "Racing With the Moon," which if memory serves me right also came out around this time). The performances of Sean Penn and Esai Morales in this film go to show why they have both continued to be two of the hardest working actors in Hollywood. It is one of the grittiest, rawest movies I have ever seen, and it works on a visceral level. I hadn't seen it in about twenty years, but it affected me the same at 35 as it did when I saw it on cable at 14. I recently saw this movie again (on video, not the uncut DVD).
