In the road-movie-reluctant-pals genre, Fled goes down a road well-taken and still manages to get lost. Defiant ones Piper (Laurence Fishburne) and Dodge (Stephen Baldwin) escape from their chain gang when a prison break/shootout begins. Evading rednecks and faceless policemen they make it to Atlanta where "smart-ass" Dodge (who delivers one-liners that do a disservice to smart-asses everywhere) has to recover a computer disk. They are aided and abetted by Cora (Salma Hayek--this time using a funny hat, instead of her breasts, for character development), who takes the convicts in as if she were picking up college buddies from the airport. Maybe she realizes what great guys these prison-garbed buffoons are. They donate money to charity. They save dying rednecks. They rescue little boys from oncoming cars. Unfortunately, they can't save any of Dodge's old associates, like his stripper-with-an-apartment-of-gold girlfriend or his fellow computer hacker, from getting shot up by Cuban Mafia thugs that want that disk! Laurence Fishburne is the main reason to see the film, but that's a stretch, and Stephen Baldwin seems nothing like the same searing actor seen in The Usual Suspects. --Keith Simanton

3 out of 5 stars Typical mismatched buddy/cop formula film.......2004-12-05

This film received quite a bit of attention in Atlanta in the summer of 1996 because it was shot on location and features Atlanta, and my hometown of Stone Mountain, in a starring role that is all too rare for our city. So, seeing it in theaters back then was surreal, because the residents of this city aren't used to seeing it on the big screen, with famous actors playing their assigned roles. The best scenes in this film take place at the Georgia Dome in a shoot-out during a crowded dirt bike event and the finale at Stone Mountain Park. So, for those reasons, this film is in my DVD collection.

The story itself is typical hack work, repeating an all too often used plot about two different guys who are thrown together (handcuffed, in this case) and have to spend the rest of the film learning to appreciate the differences in each other until they become the best of buds in the end. Stephen Baldwin looks like he had the most fun making this film, as he tends to be goofy and likeable, yet annoying at times. Laurence Fishburne looks bored throughout the whole film, like he can't believe he has stooped that low for a paycheck. The bad guys are relentless and ruthless (thinking nothing of shooting up a crowded sporting event in an enclosed venue), which culminates in a cable car to the top of Stone Mountain, that's reminiscent of a James Bond film ("Moonraker", anyone?). And like a lot of films, must it end in such a joking manner? Stephen Baldwin's character is forever bringing up movies, and his final jab at Laurence Fishburne is "haven't you ever seen 'What's Love Got To Do With It?'" Haha...the audience gets the joke, but why Fishburne, who's acting in character, would lunge at Baldwin for that remark is beyond me. Why bother to have characters at all? Why not use their real names and real life personalities, and they can crack all the jokes about movies to each other for the whole film. Heck, Laurence Fishburne would have more to joke about Baldwin's films than vice versa. Having that final joke in the film might be funny for the audience, but it doesn't help a viewer take this film or characters seriously. As I see it, this film is nothing more than a souvenir of some of Atlanta's more famous landmarks. Hopefully Hollywood will come make a better film in Atlanta (and I don't mean using Atlanta as a stand-in for New York or Alabama or some other place, but Atlanta starring as Atlanta). There are many sites in this city that are film worthy...if we can only find a worthy film to set here.

5 out of 5 stars Fun all the way.......2001-02-09

This is the movie that got me into the world of Ducati Motorsports. The Ducati 916s that they ride are simply some of the best machines ever made. A great and fun movie overall. Great dialog, good action, and awesome motorcycle scenes. The only thing I find hard to believe, but is prevelant in all movies with chase scenes, is that the stupid Lincoln can keep pace with the 916. Now, unless the Lincoln has Nitrus and a blower, it ain't gonna happen! Besides that, an awesome movie!

5 out of 5 stars EXPLOSIVE ALL ACTION MOVIE.......2000-09-28

Laurence Fishbourne and Steven Baldwin star in this all action adventure movie which boasts stunning visual effects and many daring, hair raising stunts from the great cast. Its all action near enough from the word go but its compelling from beginning to end with its fast, furious dialogue and great performances from its two leading stars, Lawrence Fishbourne and Steven Baldwin as two escaped convicts who are chained together through there wild adventures. Lots of great thrills throughout!! Highly recommended!

5 out of 5 stars The Fugitive and US Marshals rolled into one........1999-11-19

the 90's version of "the Defiant ones" is a top-notch Techno Thriller which keeps you interested from minute one. enough said... See it, if you dont like it, email me and ill degrade you.
