Cloak & Dagger

Viewed: February, Own
Anyone in it: Henry Thomas (ET, Suicide Kings), and Dabney Coleman

Plot: 11-year-old Davey, whose mother is dead and whose father is preoccupied with his own problems, has retreated into a world of video games and an imaginary hero-pal, the swashbuckling superspy Jack Flack. When an FBI agent about to be murdered slips him a video cartridge containing top-secret data, Davey is suddenly plunged into the intrigue and danger of real-life espionage.

Comment: As a christmas gift from my gf, this 1984 film is merely two months old on DVD. And as for a kid’s movie, it has a few corny moments, but I still like it as I enjoyed an aspect I had overlooked.

Score: C+
