Reckless Audience Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Larry Rose I have seen this movie as teen when it first came on Prism and HBO, and it hit home with the setting for the movie. Not all places portrayed in movies are happy go lucky and this once showed life as it was for a lot of us growing up.We all had that one girl we always wanted, we that did not fit the bill for society was the out cast and the rebel, had a broken home, etc. And this what makes the movie shine, hit home and show the TRUE meaning of growing up in a poor town.It had a great soundtrack, that for me at the time was more into the hard rock/metal genre, that I still catch myself singing along when it comes on radio, which should say a lot for a music selection in a movie.Also I get weird looks when I bring up this movie to friends whom never even heard of it or stores when asking if they have it or can get it. HMMMM pretty good lasting Impression for a movie that is now lost in time but not forgotten.I would love it if this movie could be released on blue ray so all can enjoy a forgotten gem and for us that grew up to it to re-live our youth once again.Darryl Hannah, Quinn, and Baldwin deserve the recognition and credit for this movie that helped launch their careers, please bring it back to the masses so at the end we can ride off on the bike again with the girl of our dreams.
preppy-3 A poor rebellious high school kid named Johnny Rourke (Aidan Quinn), from the wrong side of the tracks, falls in love with rich beautiful Tracey Prescott (Daryl Hannah). She's attracted to him too but has a jealous jerk of a boyfriend (Adam Baldwin) and she can't date anyone who is poor and rebellious. Three guesses what happens next.There's absolutely nothing new here story wise but I saw it only once OVER 20 years ago and have never forgotten it. For one thing the acting is excellent. Quinn and Hannah really clicked together on screen. They also have two lengthy sex scenes where you get to see plenty of skin on both of them. (Quinn does a quick full frontal) The soundtrack really rocks too. I LOVED how they used "Kids in America" when Quinn and Hannah are "fighting". Even though the story is completely predictable it moved pretty quickly and I was never bored. I especially loved the final scene (I'm not gonna give it away). This movie should have made Quinn (he's just incredible) but didn't for some reason. If you can see it it's worth catching. Don't bother with the commercial TV print--the steamy sex scenes are completely gone.
roses888 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.
namakalea This was a great movie! Aidan Quinn and Darryl Hannah were still innocent. I loved the soundtrack and the ease of viewing the picture. There's no violence or unpredictable nonsense. This is so rare with the new movies. This one's a classic.
