A Major Disappointment

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Blistering performances.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

This was a pretty fun little movie, but mostly I just wanted to point out the mis-credit.I was hired by a friend of mine (at the time) named Steve Allen, to do some "guitar pyrotechnics" for Metal Louie in the bar scene (pretty funny stuff). I did the gig, and then years later see on IMDb that my work gets credited to Steve Allen, who wasn't even a guitar player!!! I have no way of changing the credit, but at least I can make a statement here, and put it on my own IMDb page and resume.Sorry for vanity post, but I was pretty proud of that little bit of work, especially in 1991 when that sort of playing was at its height.Cheers, Christopher Burns

"Kid" is one of those movies where you're not going to be mesmerized by the acting or script; instead, it pulls you in with its scenery of beautiful Arizona, the music which is something out of a "80'S Hair Metal" CD, and by the story itself. Haven't we all wondered just a little about growing up with no family...always having to rely on no one but yourself? An interesting thought to me anyways. Each time I watch it I go back in time to a time when my family was still together and I took my teen-age freedom for granted. Although we never learn what C Thomas Howell's actual name is, we don't need to. Plenty of great fight sequences and around-the-corner suspense make this movie a must-own for anyone who didn't know the best years of their life would be the 80's until they were 30.

Perhaps a bit cheesy at times, but I do believe it's the best revenge movie I've seen. I've only had the chance to see it once and would like to see it again, to possibly reaffirm my high opinion of the flick, but it's a hard one to come by.

C.Thomas Howell stars as a nameless man who returns to the small town where his hippie parents were killed ten years later, however this time he's armed and he's out for revenge in this solid low budget actioner which casts Howell in a good role as the vigilante kid. Some excellent editing and some entertaining fightscenes highlight the movie.
