Synopsis:
Chris Lloyd does NOT get along with his father Walter. Walter is too careful, cautious, and boring to Chris, and never tries anything new, and Chris had to live by the same standards when he was growing up. But when his mother is kidnapped while in Europe, to Chris's confusion, Walter suddenly turns into a man of action. Just who is his father anyway. Gene Hackman and Matt Dillon play a typical (if unlikely) father and son, at odds over the usual generational stuff. Then Gayle Hunnicutt, as the wife and mother, disappears--and suddenly Sonny Boy discovers something he never knew about stuffy old Dad: that he's actually a retired government agent who's pretty handy with a gun and more than willing to waste whoever gets in his way as he tries to get his wife back alive. They bounce around Europe in pursuit, with the kid getting in Dad's way, in a plot that winds up chasing its own tail. Hackman and director Arthur Penn were much more effective a decade earlier when they made Night Moves. Overall a good film with just enough action and intrigue to keep you interested. Good points: gives those of us who fought in the "Cold War" a look back at the days of the Berlin Wall, East Germany, and the cat and mouse games where no one could be trusted. The adventure that chases across Europe. It begins calmly enough, as Walter Lloyd (Hackman) goes about his mundane everyday life as the owner of a texas lumber-yard. His son Chris (Dillon) has little patience for his boring, overly cautious dad, and neither thinks they'll get any closer whild Mrs. Lloyd vacations overseas. But when she gets kidnapped, Walter and Chris cross the Atlantic and the boy discovers amazing things about his multi talented father. For Lloyd is actually a seasoned, Cold War, ex-CIA agent, fluent in several languages, an expert driver and an accomplished killer. Now someone's taken his wife and he won't rest until she's safe-no matter what needs to be done to get her back. A gripping drama of intrigue laden with surprises and action, TARGET hits dead center for suspense, fun and excitement.
