One of Spielberg's early efforts and it is fair to say that this is also not one of his strongest. Whilst Spielberg manages to build some tension in the first half as the situation escalates, this gives way to a uneven tone that ensures the stakes are rarely felt or convincing. It doesn't help that the two central characters are poorly developed and difficult to care about, making their quest equally uninvolving. It doesn't outstay its welcome and there are some nice moments throughout, but its the connection with the characters that is sorely lacking and a central mistake to this film that Spielberg rarely made again.
