    I watched this movie over and over when I was a kid and I just saw it again recently after like 15 years since the last time I saw it. Surprisingly the movie still holds up. A lot of times the movies I liked as a wee one aren't as good as I remebered them but Cloak & Dagger hasn't lost any of the fun it gave me way back. This movie has some violence but I think it's good for kids about 9 and older that have a strong sense of adventure and imagination. Although the movie was made over 20 years ago it should be enjoyable for new viewers even today.

    I loved this movie years ago and I'm still in love with it. My 7 yr old was all into it to the very end. But, I had to keep explaining to her that other people couldn't see Jack.

    This was my favorite movie when I was but an elementary school kid. I just saw it again after many, many years and... it is seriously dated.--- I loved it... the prequel to any kiddie spy movie.
