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

5.0 out of 5 stars EXPLOSIVE ALL ACTION MOVIE, September 27, 2000

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!

This is an old B movie played on a station here that plays nothing but old movies. My wife enjoyed this movie so much that I bought it for her.

Another underrated movie to fall into the cracks of oblivion. It is not a masterpiece, but it is still an awesome movie. Baldwin and Fishburne take things to the next level as they both unknowingly have to come together to help bring down Frank Montajano, a notorious drug dealer who goes to great lengths to get back a disk that has all of his money laundering schemes out of the hands of Steven Baldwin (Dodge). Fishburne (Piper) is sent undercover to meet up with Dodge as a convicted felon. Things get shaky when a rigged plan from the Attorney General's office to get both Piper and Dodge out of prison goes bad. This movie is a must see. It doesn't dissappoint.
