Tom and Huck (1995)
4/10
Not terrible but probably not worth your time
4 September 2020
I remember watching this movie when I was a kid and liking it so I gave it a shot. It wasn't terrible but it probably is better as a kids movie. Story follows Tom, a mischievous boy, and his nomad friend Huck, a teenager, as they witness a murder by Injin Joe (yeah yeah racism, white privledge, oppressive imperialism yada yada yada: get over it it's based on a book from the 1800s). The problem I felt with the story was that there was too much Tom tomfoolery and not enough Joe menacing. The story would move along and get sidetracked by some shenanigans by Tom and Huck. There were a lot of good scenes such as sneaking up on Joe to steal a map and Tom's moral dilemma about telling the truth at a trial to save a man's life and his blood promise with Huck. I felt the climatic scene was kind of blah. Again not terrible but better as a movie for your ten year old nephew.
