I just watched once again "I love the 80's: Strikes Back" and they mentioned in '83 The Outsiders, I've been putting off this movie for quite a while, considering how many stars are in this film, I kept on trying to remind myself to rent it, I finally remembered! This film in a nutshell is West Side Story without the love story, the singing, or the dancing, so in some ways if you got scarred of that, you needn't worry any more.
This is an incredible cast that you would never imagine at the time would make it so far in life, like Matt Dillion, Tom Cruise, Emilio Estovez, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swaze, etc. They play "The Outsiders", just the rebels of the town, but trouble ensues when the preps attack them and in defense one of them accidentally kills one of the preps and a huge rival happens.
Over all, I'd say that it's a decent flick, it's a bit dated, but it's very intense and I'd say actually a good movie to watch. It set a bar for these actors and they might not be where they are today, they had some pretty great performances. I do love that line "We're doing it for Johnny!". :) So, go ahead and grab the popcorn for this one!
6/10
