Audience Member lightweight thriller starring Jason Bateman as the stupidly named Toby Kellogg (possible advertising gimic) a dopey teen who becomes embroiled in a big business scam involving his dad, big ups to Jack Wagner as a sleazeball peice of scum hitman you could have gone places boy. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmm not bad for a 80s TV movie most of them are pretty cheesy this one was decent, story line was unique most thrillers the story seems to be the same ol same ol... wasent bad but nothing really great Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review kyle c I loved this back in the day! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member (** 1/2): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member I was excited for a fun government gone wrong 80's movie, but all I got was this! A movie about a cocky teenager running away from the mafia. I like Jason Bateman now but back then he was a little too polished to be a teenager. It did have the prettier Phillips sister in it though. That's good I guess. 2009 movies: 98 Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't really have high expectations for this movie...in fact, I don't even know why I watched this movie because it really didn't look appealing to me...but I'm glad I did. It was actually a very well done movie. It of course is an 80's movie...and it does have the cheesy music...but the plot was VERY good. It was suspenseful, and it was thrilling. I was on the edge of my seat throughout the movie...and I was trying to figure out what was going on throughout the movie. It will keep you guessing until the very end. Jason Bateman was amazing and may I say adorable as a teenager. If you enjoy a good thriller, you'll enjoy Moving Target. For daily movie reviews, polls and more, visit www.kimsmoak.com now!
