![]() Bored of such a hum-drum life, she finally gets a wake-up call from someone who taps into her computer. Terry Dolittle (Whoopi) works a computer at a New York bank. Some of the plot points of JJF don't always ring true, but its a testament to Whoopi's charm and magnetism that she turns an occasionally ludicrous adventure into a fairly entertaining comedy-thriller. ![]() Now that was a turkey!Īfter making her debut in The Colour Purple, Jumping Jack Flash was Whoopi Goldberg's first proper starring role, and a chance to flex her muscles as an actress. Although it does suffer from a few flaws, its quite watchable, it moves at a fair lick, and is in no way the turkey its often accused of being. A lot of people consider it a black mark on Whoopi Goldberg's career. Jumping Jack Flash has come in for some surprisingly negative opinions over the years. Reviewed by DavidSim240183 8 / 10 Not as bad as its often made out to be But fun for everyone else.ħ/10 - Good honest fun probably Whoopi Goldbergs funniest movie and certainly no Sister Act thank god!!! ![]() It's similar in the level of language used to Beverley Hills Cop, so probably not one for the small kids. The only drawback to this movie is it is quite profane those adverse to the occasional swear word should probably steer clear. Whoopi Goldberg plays the quirky and livewire Terri Doolitle a low level bank employee who gets involved in a dangerous spy game involving the CIA, British Secret Service and the KGB (made in the 80's the cold war was still in full swing).Ĭontacted via her computer (the computer geeks out there will love seeing this earlier version of the internet) by a secret agent codename 'Jumping Jack Flash' (Jonathan Pryce) Terri must use her street smarts and attitude to save the day against rogue agents, KGB the police and while not being fired from her own job. In my humble opinion at 5.3 this movie is horribly underrated it's a fun, colourful, exciting hour and a half of a movie. ![]() Reviewed by no-skyline 8 / 10 Born in a crossfire hurricane ![]()
