I picked this film up because I happen to like Val Kilmer and Marg Helgenberger (China Beach and CSI). The last 5 minutes are what elevate this film from one star stinker to a just bad two star film. Kilmer is dead man walking as the film progresses. There is some mystery in the story line, and for those brave souls that decide to watch this, I won't spoil the ending. The story of how Val got to this point is told in repeated flashbacks (some of the flashback events are shown more than once). I'm certain the director meant for this to be symbolic. There's a supposed deep relationship he builds with a young boy in the park. Most of the film is spent with Val Kilmer walking, sitting, or phoning in the park. Both of these techniques are way overused and are extremely difficult to use in the most skilled hands. And every time the film goes into flashback, it is preceeded with a clip in 25% slowed motion.

There is some very sappy strings royalty free music that plays in the background.

Once at the park, Kilmer makes a few phone calls from a pay phone and we are treated to an awful split screen with him and the person on the other end. We spend too much time following Kilmer's run to Echo Park. The fight is fairly well filmed, the action is decent. He then runs away and gets attacked by 3 or 4 guys trying to steal the case back.

'The movie opens reasonably well, Val Kilmer is chasing a guy with a brief case, yells to him, shoots him, and takes the case. I couldn't even finish the whole movie with my Kids in the room. This is pretty much an orgy of foul language and gratuitous violence.

Can we make a movie that isn't full of political and sexual undertones (especially where children are concerned)?

Turns out he doesn't like girls because they don't know how to play correctly (typical for a boy his age). (political commentary aside) The kid thinks he is gay (Hollywood always manages to slip that in) because he does not like girls and he was raised by a homosexual who told him he must be gay because he doesn't like the opposite sex. Thompson (a veteran of many movies at his young age), is cute and a pretty fair actor, he has a future in Hollywood (poor kid, I hope he doesn't end up like Danny Bonaduce or the Kids from 'Different strokes', or the innumerable other childhood stars that have been ruined by Hollywood's excesses. All of this is factually true, albeit a gloss-over of the facts. As his business deal begins to unravel, he fights to keep the kid out of harm's way and escape to Florida to join up with his family'. There he begins an unusual friendship with a precocious boy, prompting him to reach out via phone to his ex-wife and estranged daughter, who he hopes will reunite with him now that he is about to be rich. WRONG! The cover reads, 'After the heist of his life, a thief hides out in a city park as he plans to strike a deal and unload his stole goods. It sounded like an uplifting, man commits crime, realizes he is in error, makes things right, possibly family-friendly movie. The action here was sparse, the drama drags on. But I can't think of too many good things to say about the film. Some of the scenes with the boy were mildly cute. Also, there's a cameo by Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows on CSI ). If you're a huge Val Kilmer fan, you might want to see this just for the sake of it. Not only is it hard to believe that a world class thief would have sub-par intelligence, it's painful to watch Kilmer play this role.Р”В«ut most importantly, I wish these directors would understand the fatal flaws with making flashback movies - we already know that the main character survives the scene (shootout, double-cross, etc) if he's standing there narrating the flashback.

His partner (on the phone) apparently has a mental disability - and it doesn't make much sense. Second, Val Kilmer plays a dumb thief, whose personal life was in ruin. First, I don't know who decided that 90 minutes of waiting in the park & talking on the phone could be exciting to watch. And there are some flashbacks which tell us how he ended up in the park. The other major focus is a little boy he meets at the park, and they form a unique relationship. Much of the movie is him on the phone, trying to locate the buyer (there is a small twist here), talking to his ex-wife, ex-girlfriend, and child on the phone. He has just finished his score, and is waiting for the buyer. It's a 'real time' movie - Val Kilmer plays a thief who is waiting in a park. 'From the previews and the box, I believed this was a 'heist' movie, or about a thief's last big score (like the Score with Edward Norton, or the Italian Job).
