Savannah (1988) is this quirky blend of comedy and drama that kind of takes you on a wild ride. Colin and Mailland, these small-time crooks, find themselves unexpectedly saddled with a seven-year-old runaway. The whole manhunt situation adds this bizarre tension, like, you’re not sure if you should laugh or be concerned. The performances are pretty solid, particularly the way the kid interacts with these not-so-great guys. It has this off-kilter charm, you know? The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that chaotic atmosphere. It’s not every day you see a story like this, and that makes it stand out in the landscape of late '80s films.
Consider for its unusual premise and storytelling approach.Look out for the child actor's performance; it adds depth.The film’s pacing might feel off, but it fits the tone.
