Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

What a waste of my time!!!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Single Terry Doolittle (Whoopi Goldberg) works for a Manhattan bank transferring money through a computer. Her co-worker Cynthia (Carol Kane) tries to set her up. Her boss warns her to stop online chatting with the clients. Then she gets a message from an unknown user named Jumping Jack Flash who pulls her into the world of espionage. Marty Phillips (Stephen Collins) is a new co-worker. She is taken by mystery man (Jim Belushi) but she escapes.One of the problems is that typing on a computer is not that thrilling. It's a problem that most modern movies alleviate by adding in a lot of flash. Eventually, there is a computerized voice but it's not that compelling. The most memorable images from this movie is Whoopi's Harry Potter outfit and dancing to the Stones. This is a thriller but it's not that thrilling. I keep thinking that Terry should simply call the FBI. Terry is interviewed by an idiot cop which is suppose to mean she can't call the authorities anymore. Whoopi tries to be funny but there are no laughs. She is an energetic center in a story without tension or good jokes. It's just blah.

For those of you who know how talking over the internet can be risky, and that the Rolling Stones were one of the best bands ever, pick up this movie!!! It starts off with Teri, an internet banker who talkes to friends during her work hour accidentally talks to a spy whose codename is "Jumpin Jack Flash". When Teri wants to learn more about him she is put is great danger after unravaling Jack's clue, and being put into the middle of international epsionage. The movie is full of funny one liners, a little bit of action, and a great plot. With all of this, you might think why the movie is only 7/10, but it actually has large amounts of time where NOTHING interesting happens. It is still a good movie if you need something to watch on your next movie night, and Woopie Goldburg does an amazing job of acting. Overall, I would say it will be worth your money if you picked it up at blockbuster.

This film, starring Whoopi Goldberg, is an absolute HOOT. Whoopi is her usual non-stop self and the film moves along nicely with her. There are several memorable moments in the film, all hilarious. Whoopi doing her Stevie Wonder imitation "Blind Terri Doolittle". Whoopi trying to walk elegantly in a ripped skirt and high heeled shoes. Whoopi, doped by a villain, describing a teen with multicolored hair as "a tropical fish and it's mate". The plot it that Terri, who works in a bank on a computer all day, receives a mysterious message from a stranger asking for help. Turns out its someone in great danger. Terri ends up in danger, too, and the results are highly enjoyable. This is worth a watch!

This movie has always been one of my favorite 80s movies. Is the plot particularly original? Nah. But I have always found bits and pieces of it to be funny enough to make me lose my breath.I like the pseudo-detective/spy work that Terry Doolittle accomplishes, especially the rough ways in which she accomplishes it. This may very well be the first computer romance movie. In that capacity, it provides a somewhat cute look at computers and even at office politics in the 80s. I don't think even Richard Pryor's characters can match the charming Terry Doolittle. Between her rough language and wild clothes, she's quite original.
