During a routine prison work detail, convict Piper (Laurence Fishburne) is chained to Dodge (Stephen Baldwin), a cyberhacker, when gunfire breaks out. Apparently, the attack is related to stolen money that the Mafia is after, and some computer files that somebody wants desperately to bury. The pair, who don't exactly enjoy each other's company, escape and must work together if they are to reach Atlanta alive. Luckily, they meet a woman (Salma Hayek) who may be willing to help them.

Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune Aren't you getting tired of battles over computer disks? Rated: 1/4 Aug 23, 2017 Full Review Emanuel Levy Variety Scripter 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. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Time Out Lots of physical energy, but little else. Jan 26, 2006 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy My fondest memory involving Fled isn’t on the screen; instead, it was the moment on Siskel & Ebert when Roger stated, “I guess it sort of holds your attention while it’s happening. I mean, something is moving on the screen, so you look to see what it is.” Rated: 1.5/4 Nov 19, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Even when violence and tragic incidents do occur, they're not exactly of the gut-wrenching kind. Rated: 6/10 Sep 11, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Filmmaker Kevin Hooks does a superb job of immediately drawing the viewer into the briskly-paced proceedings...

jelisije j A very entertaining buddy cop/convict movie with a simple and logical storyline that was a cheesy over the top feel good time for me. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring, cheesy 'action' flick, with an awful director Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Fishburne and Baldwin are a riot together in this buddy action thriller that features a good cast and fairly decent story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I've watched some stunners, but for the life of me I can't figure out why people hate this movie. Fishburne and Baldwin both deliver acceptable, if not groundbreaking performances; the supporting cast of familiar faces make up a believable backdrop for their drama and the action is tight. Yes, there are enough ridiculous devices to knock it off the Oscar plate, but they've aged in a way that make it campy and nostalgic. From the absurdly illogical computer-hacking nonsense to the "stripper with a heart of gold" trope, you'll notice that Salma Hayek falls in love with Fishburne during only 3 scenes together and say, "when did that happen? But, alright, it isn't super important." I admire the filmmaker's willingness to take a bite out of several genres - this movie is part prison drama, part chase flick, part mob piece and part "modern-day" computer hacking movie. The script referencing old movies, even "The Fugitive" released not even 3 years earlier, is an homage to its own attempt to cover 16 bases at once. Yes, you've seen a movie where a government agent is secretly working for the bad guy. Yes, you've seen a buddy cop film. Yes, you've seen a crazy 90s movie that makes claims about computers and satellites that are barely practical today. Yes, you've seen police dramas. But you haven't seen "Fled" yet, and this movie does all of those things pretty well. Go Baldwin family! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Four stars hands down! Terrific performance Mr. Laurence Fishburne! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Frances H Not too bad mindless action movie. I mainly watched it for Lawrence Fishburne was in it. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/17/14 Full Review Read all reviews
