Reckless is the word for rebellious teenaged Johnny Rourke (
Aidan Quinn). With a drunken dad and a police-blotter rap sheet as long as his arm, Quinn pursues an "impossible" romance with Tracey Prescott (
Daryl Hannah), a girl from a wealthy, highly respected family. Tracey is thrilled at the prospect of kicking over the traces with Johnny, and soon proves to be as big a hellraiser as he is....if not more so. Reckless was written by
Chris Columbus, just before he hit pay dirt with
Gremlins and
The Goonies. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
