Bird on a Wire (1990, USA) C-110m. SCOPE *** D: John Badham. Starring Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn, David Carradine, Bill Duke, Stephen Tobolowsky. Entertaining, fast-paced action comedy with Mel Gibson in great form. He plays a man living a new existence (thanks to the witness protection program), which is disrupted when criminal Carradine finds him. He must take it on the lam with former lover Hawn. Lots of action, enjoyable. Could have been a bit shorter, though.
