Having been caught uncovering government secrets, an eight-year-old goes on the run.

Some of it reminds me of Race to Witch Mountain.

• 11:00 — Why would there be a car in the middle of the road like that?
• 12:30 — It’s easy to tell if an officer has a vest on. You shoot them, and there’s this red stuff that goes everywhere.

• That guy looks like he’s chewing gum.

• Meridian Alpha, Red Sabre, 53 23 77 127

• 52:00 — They do have a flashlight, don’t they? They also have night vision goggles.
• 53:00 — There’s the flashlight. I guess he wasn’t turning it on so they wouldn’t be seen from the air.
• 1:10:30 — Didn’t he get shot in the chest? I’m confused!
• 1:12:00 — There was a trooper right there, waving the red car through after looking in, why didn’t he peek into their car?
• 1:15:00 — He could turn himself in, he’d probably get semi-reunited with his son.

• 1:34:00 — Good, they closed the door and kept driving.
• 1:35:30 — They could easily wall off the road ahead.

• 1:45:30 — So, did any of them wonder why the fuck they gave birth to an alien?

So.. what the fuck was going on?
