Pero en un descuido del fiscal, se revela accidentalmente su paradero. (Unirecord International)

Pure mediocrity, which would probably not interest anyone at all without Gene Hackman’s participation. The story is very simple. There are some very obvious mistakes in the film (the windshield of the car the central couple is fleeing in is broken by a branch, but then it's as good as new, in the next shot it's broken again, then again without a scratch...) that the director should have kept an eye on, the villains are completely bland... Yet it's all saved by the dogged Hackman, in whom the audience believes, and a few skillfully shot scenes.

Survive and testify, just to sit in the courtroom and watch as the judge delivers the verdict and the convicted criminal starts to feel the noose of his tie tightening. Thanks to Hackman's unfiltered mouth, the conversational aspects (a friendly chat with killers over coffee and something stronger) are more entertaining than the unconvincing action scenes (starting with a toy helicopter and ending with a fight between “too tall” characters on top of a train). As a spoiler, I must mention that the longevity of the Walshes here is surprisingly brief.
