Very good for a TV movie
It's not a feature film, it's a solid TV so see it that way.
And it's pretty good. Bateman was great, it seemed pretty real.
Very not perfect- no way the Feds would have one agent with this kid to not have attention- that's silly.
Really, it does fall apart in the third act, like so many movies.
But in this case, as a TV movie it works, especially when the lead calls the Feds for help. It does feel like infuriating red tape in a crazy urgent situation.
What this movie does well, it does REALLY well.
The third act thing where the Big Bad does moronic things- yes, that's here in glorious 80's stupid, but hey, it's an 80's flick, ;).
