    What an odd movie - an espionage thriller essentially about two kids on a lark. Part of this is a reasonably good thriller; another part is laughably cheesy, with young Sean Penn whining his ass off as the mixed-up drug dealer/would-be spy. The film is so inescapably eighties; it even has the chick from 'Footloose.'

    I loved this movie and especially Bowie "This is not America" theme song when I first saw it years ago, but wasn't even slightly enchanted the second time.

    Ive become amazed at howmuch of a Penn fan i really am. This early preformance shows his true potential.
    The story is rivoting as well.

    Timothy Hutton and Sean Penn both give great in this true story about two young American men who became walk-in spies for the Soviet Union. The film is well-made and the script is solid. Not great but it still really good.
