Kid Colter

About This Movie

Kid Colter from 1984, while not a household name, has a certain charm that captures the essence of youthful escapism. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, which adds to the almost spontaneous feel of the adventure. The story follows a young boy from Boston who finds himself on the run from spies, relying on the wilderness skills passed down from his mountain-man father. There’s a rugged authenticity to the practical effects, and the outdoor settings feel like characters in their own right. Performances are earnest, channeling that classic familial bond and survival instinct. It’s a curious blend of action and adventure that taps into themes of resilience and ingenuity, making it a distinctive watch for those who appreciate these lesser-known gems.
