This is an all out and out comedy and the pairing of Gibson and Goldie Hawn works wonders. This is what saves this fairly predictable film. The dialogues are corny but then with such a pairing, it works fine. The climatic scene ruins the film and could have well been edited.
Superstars Mel Gibson and the lovable Goldie Hawn star in this enjoyable, action-comedy. Mel and Goldie have great chemistry together and portray their characters convincingly. The plot is somewhat convoluted but the general story is that Rick (Gibson) is hiding under the FBI witness re-location program but he gets nervous when an old flame, Marianne (Hawn) recognizes him. Before he can assume a new identity, the man he put in jail (David Carradine) is released and comes to pay his respects. Rick and Marianne find themselves reunited when they are thrown into a cross country, action packed adventure, avoiding gangsters, police and an amorous veterinarian, played by Joan Severance. All in all, good story line with action, laughs and a bit of romance. However, the flick did entertain (maybe a notch up from slapstick) and was good entertainment, just not that great.
Overall rating: 7 out of 10.
