Stevie (Van Hoy) is an ordinary thirteen year-old boy who finds his mother's gun and impulsively decides to rob a bank with his girlfriend, Rocky (Barton). The holdup escalates into a media circus, with an FBI negotiator (Reynolds) unable to stop the madness and the hostages inside the bank causing trouble as well.

If Stevie didn't seem like such a real and basically ordinary teen, the film wouldn't be so compelling.

The crisp images and Bill Foster’s unnerving ambient sound of hovering copters enormously aid this low-budget powder keg.

Pups looks ragged and slammed-together, but that's part of its appeal; the film has a wildness that more care would have killed.
