Our take

Based on S.E. Hinton’s iconic novel, Francis Ford Coppola’s humorous and often tender adaptation is a material detour for one of Hollywood’s masters. Fueled by an all-star cast—including Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, and Matt Dillon—The Outsiders is an underappreciated tale of juvenile delinquency.
