About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an ’80s kid-in-peril spy adventure that mixes imagination with real-world suspense, in the family-friendly spirit of The Rocketeer; Not for you if you need strict realism or low violence.
Pros: fun kid-spy thrills; strong suspense moments; memorable 80s vibe | Cons: flimsy logic at times; fantasy-reality mix awkward; ending feels fake
