Nachdem der zwölfjährige Mark einen Selbstmord beobachtet hat, rücken ihm sowohl das FBI wie auch die Mafia auf den Leib. Hilfe findet Mark bei der resoluten Anwältin Reggie Love. Der Selbstmörder hat als Anwalt für die Mafia gearbeitet und verrät Mark noch kurz vor seinem Tod, wo die Leiche eines Senators versteckt ist. Kein Wunder, dass sich das FBI für die letzten Worte des Toten interessiert und Mark gehörig unter Druck setzt. (ZDF)

Joel Schumacher can't deny that topic. Good subject, good execution, acting adequately standard for a collection of 90's actors, where you have to admit that young Brad Renfro was a great talent. While watching this movie, you keep thinking the whole time that it doesn't make any sense, that nobody would behave like that. The CIA, the lawyer, the boy's mother, even the young boy, it's like they fell from Mars. But the truth is, you eventually forgive them for that 90's feeling. It's not a miracle, but it's still better than many movies today.

Boyhood adventures in the adult world of lawyers, mobsters, private eyes, crooked cops, and slimy mobsters. If the whole concept of the story is based on a ten-year-old silly Jack Sprat outsmarting all the wise-asses, it's hard to execute without all the adults acting like complete idiots. And Schumacher, with his Foglar-esque (wink wink nudge nudge) fondness for plucky, marginalized youths, was certainly never capable of that.
