🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a simple rescue plot that relies on the contrast between youthful innocence and adult menace. It explores urban spaces effectively, turning the city into a playground for a chase where wit triumphs over brute force.
What lingers after the final shot is the charming idea that the sharpest detective on the street might just be a kid with a good heart. — MovieFinder Editorial
