This is one of my favorites films in the tail end of the 80's. It says 1990 but actually came out 1989 in theater. Adam Horovitz (Adrock Beastie Boys) plays Tim a troubled youth in LA who's parents are too consumed with their status quo and marital divorce problems to pay attention to their own son. They put him in a juvenile rehab facility after stealing his mothers car and crashing it. There he meets Donald Sutherland a psychiatrist counselor on the verge of a divorce who Tim (Adam) creates a bond with. He gets out of facility and meets up with his crazy half brother who asks him to take care of a rival gang at a local carnival. He gets in trouble and seeks help from Donald Sutherland in the end decides to go back to his mother and work it out. Great performances by Adam Horovitz and Amy Locane who plays his girlfriend in the rehab facility. A story about rebellion and the search for love & acceptance. Great soundtrack & a must see film from 80's cinema.

A story on the sad state of self-absorption that parents, as humans, can fall victim to, and the devastating, isolating effects this has on their children, and their marriage. Adam Horovitz and Donald Sutherland both turn in fine performances. The music by Toni Childs has become one of my favorite inspirational songs. A bit of dialogue captures the emptiness that runs deep through the soul of these characters, as Timmy is heard narrating: "They had this movie in history class, all about the first moon landing. When they took off for home, they left this tripod behind 'cause they didn't need it anymore. You saw the capsule lift off, and then this tripod just sitting there...all alone on the moon. I guess it's just gonna stay there forever and ever." This is a very underrated film, an excellent character study and teen drama that may be too serious and dark for some mainstream viewers. Parents of teenagers could benefit a lot from watching this story of forgiveness and redemption. NEEDS TO BE RELEASED ON DVD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lost Angels......., July 24, 2001

Last week, I had the opportunity to watch this film. This is such a great film! It is the life of a 17 year old boy (Andy Horowitz) who is sent to juvenile hall for taking drugs and involved in a girl swamping her mother's car. With the help of psychiatrist (Donald Sutherland), the lost angel has now a sudden hope. He looks for help and comfort from his old gangster friends always wanting him to get out so they can start trouble. In the end, he realizes what makes you a human being.. character.

I strongly recommend you to watch this film because it gives you a second opinion on a second chance.
