   A family affair., 4 Sep 2005

   This review is from: Target [DVD] (DVD)

   The first fifteen minutes or so this is like a naff Danielle Steele adaptation (with Gene Hackman). A dull father has trouble getting through to his devil-may-care delinquent son (Matt Dillon), while the mother goes to Paris.
   Just as you trying to find the receipt however it suddenly lurges into a decent thriller. The mother is kidnapped on route, dull father turns out to be a former C.I.A agent and the son is left questioning his own family history.
   Part of the pleasure of this film is watching Hackman show his true colours to his estranged son. The father son relationsip is well depicted and all the spy jargon is all there. The spy story, while over familar, nonsense still manages to satisfy.
   It’s too long and far fetched but at it’s core is a simple story about family coming together.
