Where to Watch Three Fugitives
- ርልዪረMay 6, 2026I won't say this is a perfect movie, but I liked it. It was funny, enjoyable and well-performed. One or two moments may drag and the sentimentality is not quite kept at bay, but overall I really liked Three Fugitives. Three Fugitives is beautiful to look at certainly, the sumptuous cinematography and beautiful scenery really gives the film a lovely look to it. The music is good too, as is the direction. The script is very funny and quotable and the story is believable with good action, while the pacing on the whole is secure enough. The acting also helps elevate, Nick Nolte and Martin Short's chemistry mayn't be an immediate classic, but it is believable and both men do really well in their roles especially Short who has plenty of slapstick laughs. And it was a delight to see James Earl Jones again, a great actor with a wonderful, dignified presence and rarely disappoints in his films and this is no exception.
- RobertFebruary 13, 2026It had some funny moments but ultimately seems like a poorly filmed cash grab, putting recognizable American talent on the screen to retell a moderately successful French story. If you can overlook the poor budget and lackluster performances, then it's not a terrible view. Kids may like it.
