Burt Reynolds must have been desperate for a paycheck. He plays a grouchy cop with a rampant disregard of property and safety chasing some bad guys. He ends up trying to protect a little boy who's dream is to grow up and be a cop.
The kid witnesses a murder and the police hide him to keep him safe so he can testify. The plot is ok, but the acting is some of the worst I've seen in my life. I think maybe they planned someone like Gary Coleman in this kid roll, but it didn't happen. I'll forgive the tot for his poor acting because, well he's a kid. Reynolds only excuse might be he didn't take it seriously.
The bad guys were all just caricatures of mobsters. Ah well, it's cute in it's own way. Look in Bandon for the DVD.
Funny little side note, IMDB rated this a 3 out of 10 whereas Norbit got a 3.6 out of 10. I liked this one better.
