Routed

About This Movie

Routed is one of those gems from the late 80s that really captures the quirks of family dynamics mixed with a touch of personal redemption. The story of Clark stepping into his son's shoes on the paper route after a setback at work is relatable in a way that pulls you in. It really has this unique, almost manic energy as he embraces the job, which becomes a vehicle for his own catharsis. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to the charm. Plus, it showcases some interesting practical effects, especially during the ‘revenge’ scenes against his former boss. The performances are genuine, and there's something about the way it balances light-hearted moments with deeper themes of purpose that sticks with you.
