needs some repeat viewings, but after 3 or 4 times, you will love it.

Yes!! It's one of my favorite 80s movies. I watched it sooooo many times when I was a kid. I also enjoyed it as an adult, and I can't say that for all movies I liked as a kid.

Jack Flack always escapes! (did I finally get the name right Ronnie?)
Dabney Coleman was excellent in this flick. This movie is all about what it's like to be a kid with a powerful imagination. Welcome to my childhood!
Always enjoyed the beginning that sets the 'spy movie' tone brilliantly.

I always enjoyed the beginning of "Cloak & Dagger" .. Jack Flack swooping in with his parachute made out of an American flag. Then Jack takes out all the enemy spies and though it appears impossible .. he still escapes.
As good as Henry Thomas is as Davey in this movie.. Christina Nigra as Kim was that much more impressive in my opinion. Of course, the real star and scene stealer is Dabney Coleman in a dual role.
Looking back .. wasn't it a bit violent for a kid's flick? Of course, that is probably why so many kids remember it so well.

Watched Cloak & Dagger (1984) last night and really enjoyed it. Love the early 80s adventure feel! Damn, family films of today seem lame when compared to his one. Henry Thomas´ character is in constant danger and even shoots a baddie! Then again, it´s not a big surprise because we have quality film makers here: C&D was written by Tom Holland (Fright Night, Class of 1984 etc.) and directed by Richard Franklin (Patrick, Raod Games, Psycho II etc.). See cool Atari stuff, nice San Antonio locations plus very good cast and clever story. Recommended!

I actually saw "Cloak & Dagger" in the theatre back in '84. Great film, and the actual espionage element was unexpected - given that I initially thought it was going to be a kiddie film.
I have been to San Antonio, TX & the winding pedestrian walkways near the Riverwalk can be somewhat creepy @ night; so, this was a great setting for an espionage thriller.
