Armed and Innocent

About This Movie

So, 'Armed and Innocent' is one of those films that digs deep into a dark scenario that feels all too real. A young boy, left alone, finds himself in a life-or-death situation—it's a heavy premise that weighs on the viewer. The pacing shifts between tension-filled moments and the quieter, more introspective scenes where the family grapples with the aftermath. The performances are, I’d say, quite raw and genuine, particularly the boy's portrayal of trauma. It’s not flashy in terms of effects, but the authenticity of the performances carries the emotional weight. The theme of innocence lost amidst violence is threaded throughout, making it distinct in the landscape of early 90s TV movies.
