A great teen action flick, 20 October 2001
10/10
Author: Smooth_Cinema from Woodbridge, VA

Tuff Turf has everything a teen action flick should have. A great first conflict between the bully and his prey, the bully being set up, a great sex scene and a final showdown. James Spader is great in the lead, Kim Richards has a killer body and Robert Downy Jr . finds great comic relief.
