This was one of my favorite movies as a child. Patrick Stewart was someone I enjoyed watching on Star Trek: Next Generation, and even at a young age I enjoyed suspense. This movie is refreshing, because it doesn't try too hard. But it's also not lazily done. It's got just enough action and suspense that it isn't overwhelming - while being entertaining and keeping you a bit on edge. The casting was great, the filming location was perfect, and the story was fun yet interesting. The choice of music and pacing was also well placed. The opening song and scene are something I will never forget. Patrick Stewart delivers a likeable villain. Vincent delivers a very admirable, misunderstood teenage guy role that I'm sure many can relate to, or appreciate. Being thrust into a circumstance that requires him to grow and others to give him a little slack was awesome to watch. I wish this movie had been ported to DVD if it hasn't been yet. I have a hard time finding it anywhere nowadays to watch.
