646f9e108c When American Donna Lloyd is kidnapped during a trip to Europe, her son Chris and her husband Walter start searching for her. Chris Lloyd does NOT get along with his father Walter. Walter is too careful, cautious, and boring to Chris, and never tries anything new, and Chris had to live by the same standards when he was growing up. But when his mother is kidnapped while in Europe, to Chris&#39;s confusion, Walter suddenly turns into a man of action. Just who is his father anyway. The concentration on character and family values in Arthur Penn&#39;s spy thriller ought to make it a better, more intelligent movie, but somehow it doesn&#39;t work. Gene Hackman is an ex-CIA spy who&#39;s been &quot;in from the cold&quot; for 15 years. But now his wife has been kidnapped in Paris, and he has to get back into top gear in order to retrieve her. He also has to tell the truth about his past to his 18 year old son (Matt Dillon), who hitherto has thought his dadmuch a man of actionMr Magoo. There are all the contrivances we expect in this genre of film - repeated attempts on Hackman&#39;s life; car chases; femmes fatales; CIA agents who might be working for the other side; etc, etc. But little tension is developed, and first the recriminations and then the bonding between Hackman and Dillon simply slow the action down. I found the climax a tad ludicrous, but by that time didn&#39;t care much. The performances of Matt Dillon and Gene Hackman brought this film right over the top for me.<br/><br/>Dillon&#39;s character grows from being an obnoxious teenager, who sees Dadan un-hip set of car keys with a hand attached to them, through the astonishing realization that Dad just may be &quot;James Bond&quot;.<br/><br/>And Gene Hackman brings his blazing talent to the table, unfolding from a middle-aged, pokey, conservative, 35-mile-an-hour, aw-shucks businessman into a multilingual, multitalented super-spook.<br/><br/>The two interact perfectly! As they face dangers and intrigue together in a wild ride across the globe to save Mom, it is a delight to see them discover and appreciate the depths of each others&#39; characters and become friends and partners.<br/><br/>&quot;Saving Mom&quot;, was almost irrelevant!
