“Visually, Tom and Huck is eye-pleasing, and Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Brad Renfro make a good pair as Tom and Huck. Other cast members fit their parts. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThat the film did not strictly follow Mark Twain is no problem if you let the film story stand on its own. It is entertaining just for what it is.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTom and Huck is an interesting enough film, but the transformation of Eric Schweig in his portrayal of Injun Joe compared to his characterization of Uncas in The Last of the Mohicans, is the most fascinating thing about it. In the body of his films, he seems to be able to alternate between utterly noble and utterly disgusting (e.g., Missing). Great acting.”
