Man, talk about a wordy movie poster. I guess if the image from the movie plus two taglines just doesn't cut it, print the entire plot summary in multiple paragraphs right next to the star's head! Clearly the studio execs want you to know exactly what you're getting yourself into.
Cloak & Dagger encompasses what all 80's flicks of its kind were all about: throwing kids into dangerous situations. At the same time, it manages to tackle the video game craze, Dabney Coleman in dual-roles, harrowing chase scenes, Elderly undercover spies, and all the while badass Henry Thomas commanding a great lead.
And now a word on that horrible ending. In one brief moment, they single-handedly reduced an otherwise solid spy-thriller to some cheesey father-son relationship propaganda bullsheezy. "You're my real hero Dad!"
