8/10
Good, but transparent....
23 October 2000
Don't get me wrong, I like this movie. It has all the good elements (bad guy turns into good guy so you don't feel bad about liking him, cute-but-not-too-cute kid who you can watch without wanting to up-chuck, detestable adopted parents, stereotype inept FBI agents, and the morally sound underworld that we all know exists, right?) and it runs along nicely with a few gags (the scene where the FBI guy sits and has a coffee with the alleged kidnapper is well done) but really you know what's happening an age before the end, and for some that's the cue to switch off. I'm not like that. Stay till the end and see the movie through. It's fun, and you'll be glad you did. 7 out of 10 from me.
