Caper

A group of teenagers embarks on a series of daring heists, led by the charismatic Drew, to fund their dream of starting a band. Their elaborate plans often go awry, leading to comical chases and close calls with the law. As their notoriety grows, so does the attention from a determined detective who is hot on their trail.

Caper received a mixed reception from critics and audiences. While some praised its lighthearted tone and energetic performances, others found the plot predictable and the humor to be juvenile. It was largely seen as a forgettable entry in the teen crime-comedy genre of the 1980s.

• The film suffers from a thin plot and relies too heavily on slapstick.

• Performances are energetic but don't elevate the material.

• A harmless but ultimately unmemorable teen flick.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce for Caper, but those available suggest a mild entertainment value for its target demographic, with some viewers finding it a fun, albeit silly, diversion.

The film marked one of Adam Ant's early acting roles, following his brief but memorable appearance in the music video for Michael Jackson's 'Dirty Diana'.
