Movie Reviews of Cloak & Dagger
Movie Review: Cloak & Daggar
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a totally enchanting movie, in which I feel Dabney Coleman exhibited that touch of greatness that transcends the boundary from a good actor to a great actor.
Beautifully filmed in San Antonio, the story line is very believable and hangs together quite well.
Of course, there is a deeper meaning to the movie. It is the touching chronicle of a transition from a child's world of fantasy to the world of reality. The make believe hero in Davie's mind, Jack Flack, is supplanted by the real hero, the real hero being one that was always there for him - his father.
At the end, when the transition culminates, if anyone doesn't shed a tear of both sadness and happiness, they probably have a heart of stone.
This movie, to me, is a classic.
Summary of Cloak & Dagger
11-year-old davey whose mother is dead and whose father is to preoccupied with his own problems has retreated into a world of video games and an imaginary hero-pal the swashbuckling superspy jack flack. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 11/23/2004 Starring: Henry Thomas Michael Murphy Run time: 101 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Richard FranklinWho should a kid's hero be? In this underrated adventure-comedy, that's the central issue. Henry Thomas, fresh from E.T., plays a San Antonio kid whose father (Dabney Coleman) doesn't spend nearly enough time with him. So the boy loses himself in video games--and even has an imaginary friend (also played by Coleman), a super-resourceful secret agent. When he accidentally comes into possession of a spy group's secret plans, and winds up on the run from them, he must learn to rely on himself (and his imaginary pal) to save his skin. But, in the end, Dad proves to be his real hero in this engaging and solid family film. --Marshall Fine
