Elliott Got a Gun

The Fagan brothers revisit CLOAK & DAGGER, a staple of their childhoods that neither had seen in many, many years. Henry Thomas (E.T.) plays Davy Osborne, an insane 12-year-old who listens to the voices in his head and goes on a murder spree across San Antonio, because his dad won't let him play his favorite video game!

Weirdly, that is not a complete misrepresentation of the story. CLOAK & DAGGER is a family film about Davy, whose Dad works a lot and whose mom recently passed away. He and his best friend Kim become accidentally embroiled in what amounts to a children's version of a spy thriller. While the responsible adults ignore literally everything Davy tells them, he finds his way through the plot with the help of Jack Flack, his super-spy imaginary friend.

Dabney Coleman (9 to 5) plays Davy's dad, and also Jack Flack, which obviously sets up the opportunity for some totally-expected personal growth and emotional resolution. Except... that's not exactly what happened. Some third-act revelations muddy the waters, and make Matt literally lose his mind. What is Jack Flack? What is he?!?
