With a plot that is centred around a young boy who is given an Atari game by a wounded agent, this really does tick all the boxes of a classic. The game is fiited with a special micro-chip that the bad guys will do anything to get a hold of. It is down to Davey Osbourne (Henry Thomas) and his imaginary friend from the game Jack Flack to get the chip to the F.B.I.Well what a magical film this one is. Henry Thomas has a fantastic face for kids movies, no wonder he was cast in such classics like E.T and The Go-Kids. It's a shame he only works in bit-part roles these days because he really is a great actor. Dabney Coleman is pretty fantastic as his father and Jack Flack, his imaginary friend. There is also a great little cameo by William Forsythe who works at te video game store at the mall, he only heightens the boys imagination by sending him on special missions for Twinkies.
I had a fantastic time with it and I urge everyone to see it if you haven't already done so. Magical!
