7/10
Underrated Family Film

This movie is sneaky enjoyable. The chemistry between Corey Haim and Leo Rossie as Nelson and Sam are undeniable. Unfortunately, it came out in 1991, and I say that because this movie gives me the impression had it come out in the late 80's, it could have had a theatrical release and maybe have been more successful.

The plot is unique enough, with a loving father and son who rob banks not just for money but for something of an adrenaline rush as well. They use the ploy of young Nelson (Haim) playing a hostage while his father Sam (Rossi) has a schtick of having the victims sing songs while escaping, which in itself also appears to be a fun challenge for them.

I had not seen this movie in over 20 years and re-watched it yesterday, and it was still kind of a fun ride. I would recommend watching it at least once. It's really not bad.
