Jay H A pre-teen is grief-stricken over the loss of his mother. His father works long hours and is never around. He has an imaginary friend that looks like his dad, a?" nd a real friend who is an adult. He witnesses a murder, he's nearly stabbed, he's shot at, he's knocked out with chloroform, he's put in a car trunk with a dead body, he's threatened with being shot in the knees and stomach, he shoots and kills a guy, he's taken hostage on an airplane that also has a bomb on it... did I mention this is rated PG and intended for kids? I'll bet "where's my cocaine?" was heard a lot on this movie set. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/24 Full Review Mark M One of my all-time favorite films from childhood. If you want an all-out adventure that pulls no punches, give this a try. Family films were certainly different before the Disney-fied era of the 90s. Here you've got uber-talented Henry Thomas carrying the whole picture, dodging bad guys (like, really bad guys), and even ends up having to shoot and kill one of them himself. You don't see kids on screen doing that these days. This is also one of the most poignant father/son features I've ever seen and it really holds up today. Strangely, not a lot of people have seen it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review MrEatrocks4fun At first glance this trip through nostalgia sparked a comfortable and "at home" vibe that was incredibly lit. But that quickly flipped to CAP. In fact, it was fr fr "not having a good time". It turns out our protagonist may be suffering severe Schizophrenia. The climatic heart pounding conclusion may be one of the most compelling exercises in mental health awareness to date. Let's just say we leave with fewer people than when we started. Do yourself a favor, strap in and thank me later. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/01/23 Full Review Yoosik Ethan O I have a soft spot for this one. I loved this movie growing up in the 80's and I would watch it again and again. It was a thrill watching a boy my age living a real adventure dodging bullets and being the hero instead of watching it on TV. This takes me back. Michael Murphy was a great villain in this and Dabney Coleman played dual roles very well. Today, I analyze it a little more. Like with all the people who saw the bad guys chasing these kids, did anyone think to call the police? Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review Steve D inoffensive but not especially good family film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Josh G A feature length commercial for Atari 5200, with some charming performances and a lack of plot but rather a sequence of cool events that sorta connect. It's fun but forgettable. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
