Description: An old flame (Goldie Hawn) discovers her ex-boyfriend (Mel Gibson) from the past is a relocated FBI informant out to stop the bad guys.
Review: Mel Gibson plays Rick Jarmin, part of a witness protection program. He has been living a nomad life, to stay away from the bad guys he ones testified against. He bumps into Marianne Graves, who he was ones engaged to. Rick staged a plane accident and faked his death, so that Marianne wouldn’t be in danger. But those same crooks are after Rick ones again and Marianne is here to see it all.
The film is enjoyable, at least the first part is. But “Bird on a Wire” gets repetitive and becomes less credible towards the end. Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson are not the problem, they have chemistry and a very interesting dynamic. Their constant bickering leads to sheer amusement. Let’s be honest, this is the Gibson we loved most.
Fun, yes. High quality, no.
Rating: 2, 5/ 5
