movie review - Fled

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1997.01.13

Minutes into this one, we were savaging it. It's about two convicts (Stephen Baldwin and Lawrence Fishborne) who break out of a chain gang and wind up walking away with the money, the girl, and their freedom. Stupid as hell. Worst of the year, thus far. Fishborne's (flimsy) character has to say, 'We gotta fled' twice during this. Baldwin at one point gushes about his "sweet Mac" computer.

Not recommended. Avoid.
