DC Collins is both a prime document of the waning years of the cold war, and a blistering exposition of the actor's craft from Gary Coleman. Coleman scored big with 'On The Right Track' and the popular 'Kid' series of TV movies, and also this fantasy/espionage thriller.

It should not go unremarked here that there is a stirring romantic aspect to this. DC has a sweetly fetching partner for his fantastic and real endeavors: Tatyana!

One cannot help but regret Gary's absence from subsequent dramatic projects like this. Why is it that audiences are expected to remain starved in the present dearth of Gary Coleman material?
