'A Kid Called Danger' (1999) - Eric Hendershot.

Dane (Clayton Taylor), a precocious young kid wants to be a cop like his dad so bad that he risks life and the prepubescent limbs of his wacky gang to capture at-large Jewel thief Frank Connelly(Noah Forest). You've had Spy Kids, spooky kids, cabbage patch kids, so why not detective kids? A Kid Called Danger remains a mostly fun all-ages romp that succeeds due to the surprising amicability of its youthful cast, and its playful sense of humour. Not unlike the best of the Children's Film Foundation, A Kid Called Danger is zestily wholesome family fare that isn't so saccharine as to be indigestible to everyone else.
