Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
tenebrae A movie with tension from beginning to end, with an interesting method of fading to still black and white image every time there is a scene change or the location is changed.This works all but once, when it is used in the middle of a busy chase scene towards the end.If you like a movie set almost entirely at night, with some very lost and scared protagonists on the run and trying to make it back home, then this is one to check out.
frmarcus-1 Have just watched. Mainly 'cos of the acting, this sucks: Thomas's character comes over as slightly unhinged - though I don't think it was intended - cos he over-acts, just like the clichéd thugs so often portrayed in American movies of the 80s, which it feels very much of. Crosby is fine but has little to do other than accompany Thomas: she doesn't seem engaged with the movie as there was little for her to do; she seems one-dimensional.Thomas's character comes over as a bit of a 'dick': he's meant to convey small-town naivety, per plot, but just seems gauche and foolish, such as the scene where he jumps in front of a truck, waving madly, to stop it for a lift... and just stands there, about to be mowed-down. Implausible. If I were Crosby I'd be leaving him to his fate!Something to watch when doing the ironing, then - certainly not to look out for!
mikohn This movie was filmed in Chicago Illinois. I was unemployed and looking for work when I stumbled upon this movie being filmed. The movie underwent many title changes before it was released. I think the plot was original but the way it was laid out could have been better. During the filming of this movie, both of the leads walked around downtown without bodyguards and melted into the crowd. It was as if nobody knew there were celebrities around. I got to meet both leads and I talked to Richard Thomas but he went to a limo and fell asleep before I could get his autograph. On the other hand, they called Mary Crosby to the set for a scene in which they thought she was needed but she wasn't. She went back to her trailer and en route, I tapped her on the shoulder (ok not a smart move but it worked out) and got her autograph. She was very nice about it. I'm sorry they were stuck in such a somewhat lame movie especially since they are very good actors and deserved better. I saw the finished product on TV and was pretty disappointed considering how hard the cast worked to make the movie a good one.
spideyy I started watching this movie right after it started, so I didn't know what it was called or anything. I was on a cruise ship, and it was 2:30 in the morning, and there were no commercials, so until I got back home, I had no idea what it was. Thank God for IMDB. Anyway, I thought it was a serious dramatic remake of "THE OUT OF TOWNERS". It had almost the same plot, only not played for laughs. Every thing was played for suspense, and with Richard Thomas in the lead it was even more dramatic. I like watching him act, but he is so over the top dramaticly. But that's why I like watching him. The movie wasn't great, but it didn't suck either. I had to stay up till the end, because I was interested in the outcome, so that says something.It revolves around Thomas' character going to the big city for a job interview, and he goes to the wrong bar to meet his would be boss. By the time he finds this out, it's an hour after the time they were suppossed to meet, and his car is locked in the parking area until six the next morning. His wife comes to meet him, and before he can tell her to stop the cab she brought, it leaves, and they are stranded. Now why they just didn't walk back to a more populated area is beyond be. I've been to New York and Chicago, and you can always get to a populated area, especially at seven in the evening, and also the fact that Thomas drove his car to the bar, that alone should say he knows how to get back. But then we wouldn't have the next hour of the movie where they get chased by gangs, dogs, and other such riff-raff.All in all, not a great movie, but like I said it didn't suck. Spideyy
