![]() ![]() The movie is frustrating to watch as you can see that Jamie is clearly using his time off to preoccupy himself in a way to block things and to convince himself that he's on the up but its the question of what it is he's running away from, that leaves you wondering - there are very subtle clues throughout which don't really give much away, its not until close to the end that they come together to make more sense but you could be mistaken for doubting the authenticity of the flashbacks, given the state of mind Jamie must be in at the time. The main appeal of this movie is the cast, with, as previously mentioned, Michael J Fox and Kiefer Sutherland playing the main roles of Jamie and Tad. This movie was released in the late 1980s so its very much set in the world of yuppies - hard work and even harder partying - you get the idea. Michael J Fox plays a seemingly arrogant young adult trying to live it up in the 'big city' while also trying to maintain a fairly high flying job as a writer/journalist. ![]() ![]() This movie is quite slow and depressing - the story surrounding Jamie and why he does what he does during his free time takes a while to build up. This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. ![]()
