I'm a lover of B movies and cheese... For what it was the original 70's movie was a fun campy romp. This however was not... Somehow they managed to suck all the fun out of the plot. And focused on just a few dull characters. No gore, no fun set up, no thrills or chills. It commits the ultimate sin of a B movie... It's not fun! I don't know if it was the budget or what happened here. Compared to the original it's a disappointment. I've seen more entertaining Syfy channel movies. And that's really saying something.
All of the usual suspects are here... Voiceovers, Stock footage, and a lush Jungle set. 6 Troopers are tasked to meet a mysterious woman to parlay information from. Vital information to have a leg up against the enemy Japanese. Of this crew only one will survive. Despite it's cliches it manages to elicit suspense and sympathy. Sure it's no sprawling War saga. But it gives a voice to the poor civilians caught in the middle. And to the Soldiers... Led by their superiors. Very nicely done little known War film.
If you watched this movie you are probably a fan of family fare or cute animals. I'm both. Right off the bat one can tell the movie is lower budget. The little girl is the Star here. Jason London looks alot older here. But it could be how he was dressed and made up for the role. In real life he owns and operates a Ranch and rides Horses.
As for the Fox? It's adorable. There is also a subplot involving two foreign Animal control people after our furry Friend. Plus a neighbor named Mrs. Crabtree. Dad also has a surprise. It's also been 2 years since Amanda's Mom died.
It's obvious the movie was made modestly. But the Fox is cute. And the actress playing Amanda isn't annoying like some kid actors can be. The movie is a bit all over the place. But it's a good clean movie. Nothing bad and no double innuendos.
I knew what I was signing up for buying a movie about an adorable Fox. Adults may not enjoy it. But kids and fans of clean movies will probably enjoy it. Runtime is about 62 minutes. Could've been a bit longer. But it's a good length given it's demographic.
