A bank robbery goes wrong as the thief, Ned Perry, played by Martin Short, tries to use a recently released felon, Lucas, played by Nick Nolte, who was incarcerated for bank robbery, as a hostage to escape. From there the film is about Ned being with his daughter, the relationship between the three, evading the police and finding a way to safety. The police are fairly stupid in this allowing the fugitives to be fugitives for most of the film. There are moments of laughter, including the ending, and heart, involving Ned's daughter, but it's fairly predictable and gets a bit repetitive. 2.5-3/5
