Big Shots

I saw this movie when I was around 10 or 11 years old, and I loved it. I mean, come on, the story revolves around two 11 year olds stealing a Mercedes! I rented it for a flashback thrill in 1999 to refresh my memory of it. It is still a wonderful movie, so I bought it. Its a great movie to show to your little brothers and sisters or, if you have some, your own kids. There is a little violence, some swearing- but this is what kids love to see! I will treasure this movie forever, and never forget villains, the actor who play the German guy "Doc" is great! I always loved the main theme song to it, "Freedom Overspill," however I thought it was done by Peter Gabriel. I was wrong, it's Steve Winwood. But it's an easy mistake; Gabriel, Winwood, and Phil Collins can sound alike. See the movie! The kid in you will love it!

This Is an old movie but it was still pretty good. It is about a white kid (Obie) who runs away from his family after his father dies. He runs into a gang who beats him up and steals his bike. Then he meats a black kid who helps Obie find his watch that he lost if Obie will help him find his lost father. Good action. Eventuallt obie and his freind steal a car, get in trouble with the cops, and all sorts of trouble. It did get a little long though. 3/4 stars

Big Shots (1987) is a fun little film about two teens that are polar opposites of each other and the struggles they go through after forming a working relationship between each other. I enjoyed it very much when I was younger. The bad guys in the picture are painted with such broad strokes I was expecting them to all be chomping on big cigars whilst laughing out loud. The film is what it is and nothing more. Recommended. B.
