Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Corey Haim, Leo Rossi, Cynthia Rothrock, Ken Lerner and Marcia Strassman star in this 1991 action-comedy. The late, Haim (The Lost Boys) plays teenager, Nelson who has spent most of his life with his father, Sam (Rossi) robbing banks. Soon, they have a falling out with former partners, Lily (Rothrock) and Tony (Lerner). Nelson and Sam attempt to rob another bank without them, but get caught by police thanks to Lily. Nelson meets Lorraine (Strassman) who claims to be an old friend of Sam's, but after Nelson breaks Sam out of Jail, he learns she's his mother he never knew. Soon, Lily and Tony decide to get payback by kidnapping Nelson and Sam attempts to rescue him with Lorraines's help. I remember when this used to be on TV a lot years ago, it's not bad and Haim and Rossi were great together. I recommend this.

A rather entertaining (to me anyway) Corey Haim movie from 1991. It is a movie that is fast as the pace is fast as is the run time for this picture. So you do not have to invest a whole lot of time in this adventure, but to me it was a fun adventure. There is a gang of criminals that plan their heists to perfection. Everything is split second timing and the getaways are also to the letter. Well there are four members in this gang and as so often is the case there is a split as certain members get greedy and think they should get a bigger cut. So off goes two of the members leaving Corey Haim and his dad's character on their own and you find out quickly that the female and other guy in the gang are not nearly as effective without the other two. The brains of the outfit is the Corey Haim character and without him the other two are lost, so near the end of the film they kidnap him and force him to plan heists for them. The film is rather good, the cast is rather funny. Corey is good as the brains and I thought the guy playing his dad was rather good too as I loved the scene where they were falling off the bridge. Cynthia Rothrock plays the female of the gang and as I usually do not care for her in other movies she is okay here. She usually takes on this super guys in movies and once I saw a movie where she gets hit by this humongous guy dead on and she barely flinched, sorry not going to happen. She may be good at karate, but if she were to be hit as hard as it was depicted in that movie she would be unconscious on the ground. Here though she only takes on normal dudes and I figure she could handle them. There would later be a sequel to this film, but I did not enjoy that one at all.

A lot of people have bad comments about this movie. I loved it.Its a simple story, with a small budget and good actors.Corey Haim and Leo Rossi are a great team and act well together. The comedy and soundtrack are great. Although its a small film with small budget and no scope to be a big hit, it did make way for a sequel which i haven't as yet seen, so somebody must have liked it! I have always watched this film at least a couple of times every year and will continue to do so. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, i really recommend it as its a great 90's feel good movie...Cynthia Rothrock is the best at what she does, never really made it to be a big movie star which is a shame as she must have done hundreds of films now?? She stars in this film as a feisty sidekick who helps the father and son team rob banks. I feel she is wasted in this film a little bit though.Corey definitely carries this film, and is one of his best!

For anyone who really likes to see Corey Haim in action then this is the film for you. Cheesy? Yes! Entertaining? Definitely. Exciting in bits and you get to view a BABE!
