Review of Bird on a Wire (1990) by Muffin M — 26 Aug 2011
Hiding under the FBI Witness Protection Program, Rick Jarmin (Mel Gibson) gets nervous when old flame Marianne Graves (Goldie Hawn) recognizes him. But before he can assume a new identity, the man he put in jail, Eugene Sorenson (David Carradine) is released and comes to pay his respects. Rick and Marianne find themselves thrown together on an exhilarating cross-country scramble, barely evading the gangsters, police and an amorous veterinarian (Joan Severance). Their whirlwind travles eventually lead to an unforgettable climax in an elaborate zoo exhibit.
Also stars Bill Duke, Jeff Corey, Harry Caesar, Stephen Toblowsky and Alex Bruhanski.
Directed by John Badham.
