The Yellow Balloon Reviews

This fairly effective thriller follows a crook, Sylvester, who tells a schoolboy, Ray, that he witnessed a struggle the boy had with another youngster over a balloon, which resulted in the other kid's death. With that information, Sylvester forces the boy to steal items from his parents' house, then involves him in a bigger crime, setting him up as a decoy. The plan is foiled, and, after a hair-raising chase, the crook meets his maker.
