Lots of physical energy, but little else.

Top CriticBig dumb fun, for sure, but not big and clever.

Top CriticThe makers of this sluggish, by-the-numbers action pic couldn't even be bothered to exploit the obvious angles.

Top CriticOn the plus side, at least for this type of effort, there is a new type of Chinese torture, tampon bandages, numerous film trivia allusions, bullets through peepholes, lots of women as strippers (Oh, not again!!), and a fine soundtrack produced by wunderk
05/06/03
Grotesquely violent, ridiculously bloody and tries to get by on a silly, wink-at-the-camera attitude.
01/01/00
Drivel.

While not an altogether unsatisfying experience, it leaves the viewer yearning to see the originals instead.

Most of non-action scenes are dead serious, and in those moments Fled becomes unbearably cliched and tedious.

Top CriticScripter Preston A. Whitmore II and helmer Kevin Hooks are obviously well-versed in film lore, for they have concocted a hodgepodge that recycles elements from several white-black team movies.

Top Critic
On the whole, Baldwin seems pretty dim for a renowned cyber-anarchist. Also, he simply isn't in the same class of actor as Tony Curtis. Or Laurence Fishburne, who swaggers through this mess with his usual suave manliness.

There's nothing particularly deep or challenging about this movie.

One more stepping stone in the rise of Salma Hayek!
01/31/05
A successful summer diversion, the kind of film you start forgetting the moment it's over but is fun while you're watching it.

Top CriticThe plot makes a couple of jumps that don't seem to make sense except to advance to yet another action scene. If only those scenes were worth the wait.
01/01/00
Even Patton, excellent as the smooth Atlanta cop on the convict's trail, can't save this mediocre descent into kiss-kiss-bang-bang clichés and one-note gags.
01/01/00
Baldwin, in particular, has an appealing bad-boy quality.
06/18/02
Despite all efforts by its notable cast, the film suffers from an incohesive plot that tries to provide drama, action and comedy only to lose focus and fail to accomplish any of its aims.
