Mediocre film about a young man who can no longer get a job after a suspended sentence and decides to continue on the criminal path as a modern Robin Hood. The beginning of the film certainly shows potential, but at a certain point it becomes increasingly unbelievable to the point of stupidity. The film itself is not boring and has a nice soundtrack. As a directorial debut of the young Emilio Estevez certainly not bad.

The directorial debut of mediocre 80s actor Emilio Estevez.

It's a typical 80s movie (with Miami Vice-like music in the background, which is often way too loud), of which the story (a kind of modern Robin Hood, with some Bonnie and Clyde influences here and there) is largely light-hearted, until a tragic event takes place in the last part of the story with a police officer (that scene was quite nice). The execution (quite colorful) is not bad and that is mainly due to the very young Demi Moore who played nicely and of course looked quite nice at the time (sometimes even showing a bit of nudity). By the way, Emilio Estevez (in big white sneakers) also does a pretty good job and together they form a nice criminal duo. The ending was quite nice, but also quite cliché.

Nice to have seen once (by chance seen on the television channel AMC), but nothing more and it is also a film that you quickly forget.

Wisdom, 1986

Emilio Estevez at 23 in the director's chair. A bold move for a young actor. The film Wisdom was not easy to make, but with a good cast and a small budget he has made a beautifully written and directed film.
