Above average FBI crime thriller

Emmy Award winners Dabney Coleman and Timothy Busfield lift this routine FBI/kidnap thriller above normal made-for-tv expectations.

Coleman plays a corrupt IRS officer with seemingly unlimited access to the personal details of LA's wealthy - especially those families with single boys. He commits a series of kidnaps that draws in an obsessive FBI detective (Busfield) complete with his own domestic problems (estranged wife and son). A cat and mouse scenario ensues with enough twists and turns to keep most fans of this genre entertained.

One question remains though - why does the highly intelligent and articulate Coleman character employ such dumb sidekicks?

Worth a look.

An exciting film with slightly offbeat characters with some humour thrown in, makes this a film worth watching. Based on true events.

Inspired by a true story

This movie was apparently inspired by a true story but it was dramatized.

In April of 1967, a young boy named Kenny Young was abducted from his family's Beverly Hills, California mansion. His father was a prominent financial executive. Kenny's maternal grandfather founded the company. Kenny was held for a $250,000 ransom.

After several years of investigation, the culprit was discovered. He was an IRS agent. He had an ex-con as an accomplice.

The movie dramatizes the Kenny Young kidnapping. It also pads the story a bit by having a second kidnapping. I guess the other kidnapping was added for drama's seek.
