action

23-year-old John Wisdom has a criminal record and cannot find a job. With the support of his friend Karen Simmons, he commits bank robberies in which he destroys the debtors' files. The media therefore celebrate him as a hero.

In the end, Wisdom is captured by the police in a stadium and surrounded by heavily armed special forces. When asked to surrender, he reaches for his weapon and dies in a hail of bullets.

Wisdom wakes up and reflects on his dream.

Reviews

Paul Attanasio wrote in the Washington Post that for Emilio Estevez Wisdom was a sacrifice of his time. As a thriller, the film is "dull", but it does not offer a good analysis of a criminal's psychic either. Demi Moore enliven the film with her “sarcastic” dialogue parts.

Jack Sommersby scoffed at efilmcritic.com that the “terrible” directing by debutant Estevez could only please his mother.

The magazine TV14 14/2006 described the film as “exciting” and certified it “dry wit”.
