Involving, But Only So-So Overall
This was a fairly involving story, although it’s better in the first half. After that, the kid gets annoying but then the film picks back up in the last 15 minutes. The story is about this teen boy “Jeff Grant” (River Phoenix) who discovers his parents are “sleepr” KGB agents, spies are out of the business. They have come to the United States to start over with their kid.Meanwhile, an assassin is killing those former, or “sleeper,” if you will, agents. “Roy Parmenter” (Sidney Poitier), an FBI man, is after anyone it seems. That last part is a bit confusing.
The story taxes ones believability here and there but is interesting most of the way. However, I thought Phoenix overacts in a number of scenes. This was far from his best performance in his abbreviated film career.
