I can scarcely believe that this one got a theatrical release. I’m pretty sure he grows up to be Jigsaw, from the popular Home Alone spin-off series, Saw.īluntly, despite the relatively fast-paced brutality the final act delivers, there’s nothing in there that makes the previous hour and change worth sitting through.

Where Kevin McCallister was an exuberant young boy with a heart of gold, Alex is basically a psychopath who has never learned the value of a human life. Forget Clueso-esque slapstick, there’s barely a booby-trap in this entire film that wouldn’t kill its victim outright. The traps themselves are maybe as inventive as the first two movies, but a LOT more brutal. The terrorists are all carrying pistols but they only ever shoot them when they fall off things. It doesn’t help that a lot of the action involves a trained rat and a wise-cracking parrot. Things pick up once the home invasion section starts, but still manages to be broadly witless. The movie’s slower than an inbred sloth, and about as good-looking. inventive slapstick) and even this one doesn’t happen until about an hour in.

It’s not at all fun, it lacks the better qualities of the average Home Alone action sequence (i.e. There’s an EXCRUCIATING sequence in the middle where Alex is chasing the terrorists with a remote controlled car and it lasts FOREVER. The biggest problem is that it really drags. Sadly, that’s not a motif you can build a film upon and I suspect it had little to no value when the film was released, many years before anyone knew who Neil Flynn and ScarJo were. Because you can’t help going “It’s her! ScarJo! When she was young!” though there was also a moment where Neil Flynn turned up and I was like “It’s him! The Janitor from Scrubs! When he was young!”. The only time I was remotely interested in the film was when ScarJo turned up, very occasionally, as Alex’s older sister.
