Bird on a Wire ★★ 1990 (PG-13)

Disappointing action-comedy finds Gibson forced to emerge from a prolonged period under the Witness Protection Program, whereupon he and ex-girlfriend Hawn are pursued by old enemies. Too little action and too little comedy add up to surprisingly dull outing, considering the cast. 110m/C VHS, DVD . Mel Gibson, Goldie Hawn, David Carradine, Bill Duke, Stephen Tobolowsky, Clyde Kusatsu, Joan Severance, Harry Caesar, John PyperFerguson, Jeff Corey; D: John Badham; W: David Seltzer; C: Robert Primes; M: Hans Zimmer.
