Review
In The Wild One, Brando, when asked, "What are you rebelling against?" said "Whaddaya got?" Levinson's Bad Boy is a relentless examination of the rebel archetype. With concision, rhythm and vigor, Levinson breathes life into contemporary bewilderment. His roots are in Emerson and in comic book pop: he quests for both wisdom and for ultimate explosiveness of feeling.
