Does the job

CAUGHT IN THE NET is perhaps the most typical of all the Children's Film Foundation movies I've watched, yet that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It turns out to be a solid, involving and satisfying story in which a trio of good-natured kids, let by future Boba Fett Jeremy Bulloch, no less, find themselves tangling with a trio of poachers who've been divesting the local protected rivers of their salmon. The usual back-and-forth hijinks occur, with nice outdoorsy location photography and plenty of low-key peril. The ending works up an appropriate head of steam and the bad guys are certainly unlikeable enough too.
