Friendship, stunts and robbery There are at least two reasons why a Forbidden Mission movie might appeal to a potential viewer. Let’s start with a reason that is not so obvious. And that reason is the director of Forbidden Mission, Bart Freundlich. This is his third full-length work, but the previous two he did not gain fame. Even more: the tapes “Shadows of the Past” (1997) and “The Wanderer” (2001) did not find their audience, because too little interest in these films. Bart Freundlich decided to move to the path of films aimed at a children's audience and that was what became "Forbidden Mission". So what, you ask, is Bart Freundlich attractive? And I will answer: this is the husband of Julian Moore, the thrumfathers of the last Oscar for Best Actress. Would it be interesting to know what the husband of the famous actress does?
The second reason is that Kristen Stewart played the lead role in Forbidden Mission. She was not yet famous and even in the diary there was hardly a record of “To star in Twilight”. But even then, the girl had high hopes. In 2004, she starred in three films and in addition to the Forbidden Mission, it was the drama Talk (and there was also Underwater Current). “Speak” was frightening with its social background and personal tragedy, and Kristen Stewart made her pay attention as a potentially big actress. In the future, Stewart will prove this, although there is still something to prove and prove to grow into a star.
The film "Forbidden Mission" will tell how a young girl Maddie, who loves adrenaline sports, following in the footsteps of his beloved father, suddenly learns that he may never be able to get up again - he received a serious injury. Her mother’s rapacious boss doesn’t give her money for an emergency operation, so Maddie decides to rob the bank where her mother works. So Maddie saves Dad and takes revenge on the vile boss. But only everyone understands that this case is the path of crime, but still two of Maddie’s best friends agree to help her, because they sympathize with her, and Maddie’s dad likes them. So the talents of the children will be useful, and they are enclosed in climbing, driving a map and mastery in technical aspects. Funny and fun all this, children may like, the main thing is not to repeat the actions of the main characters. But this is already at the discretion of parents: you need to watch your children if they decide to show the film to children.
Of course, “Forbidden Mission” will not be able to compete with such classic fantasy for children as “Jumanji” and so bewitch them to the screen. But “Forbidden Mission”, nevertheless, looks quite an entertaining spectacle, bearing the main task of attracting a small audience. It seems that the Forbidden Mission can cope with this task. Not bad in this film looks a trio of young actors: above mentioned Kristen Stewart, as well as her two plot partners played by Corbyn Blue and Max Tyriot. Not only will they be kids with a hobby that many kids today lack, but they will also show how strong friendships can be, even from school days, and how to forgive. However, the most liked in this film is the hero of a much more experienced actor - John Carroll Lynch, a bank employee who dreams of becoming an actor (the irony of the image), who found himself inside a robbery started by children, but then turned out, with all his naivety, a wonderful person who will be rewarded for his kindness.
If you want to go about your business or just relax, then your film may be attracted by the film “Forbidden Mission” (You are unlikely to be interested in this film, it is too naive and not designed for an adult audience). Only then make sure that your children inadvertently do not decide to repeat the successes of the heroes of the film, because this is only a film, fiction, and not a self-made story. A special bonus for a happy ending.

P.S. And Kristen Stewart and Max Tyriot will star after the action “Teleport”, only they will not have joint scenes, but I wonder if they had a meeting on the set?
