- THE OUTSIDERS, Francis Ford Coppola's inspired adaptation of S.E. Hinton's novel, combines a talented ensemble cast with an engaging story. It's in some ways a scare film. Characters suffer for their bad behavior, and occasionally the treatment seems a bit heavy-handed. Coppola's direction is brilliant, as evidenced by his attention to detail.

This Outsiders isn't a bad movie, but it doesn't quite convince either. A tear-jerking social drama, but Spielberg is better at emotional manipulation than Copolla, clearly more at ease when violence is amoral, as in the Mafia or at wars.
