Hugo Butler must have found a missing book of the Bible to come up with this story. What he missed was the meaning behind the story of Lot: that God wants the family to be central to our relationship with Him. Making Lot into a Moses-type leader completely misses the point of the story.
This is a story of a good kid on the run from drug dealers and police. It has a great 80's feel in music and scenery, and makes Los Angeles look better than the real thing. What the story lacks compared with it's many cousins in this genre is character interactions between the three principals in the chase. Every time the kid wants to talk, somebody starts shooting. The believability of the story suffers and the characters aren't developed. At least the Richard Tuggle didn't go too over-the-top with the farm boy culture clash. The most prescient line of the movie is when Jenny Wright's character admits, "I'm not really an actress."
If you are looking for a good youth-on-the-run 80's scenery movie, head over to San Antonio and check out Cloak and Dagger (1984).
