Rick Jarmin has been in the Witness Protection Program for 15 years after testifying against vicious drug-runners. On one fateful day, his past catches up with him: the chief criminal, just out of jail, arrives with murderous intentions--and Rick's ex-girlfriend happens into the gas station where he works and recognizes him.

It’s silly, but with some quite funny moments and a likable central couple. It's a pity that John Badham's direction isn't very dazzling, so many of the action scenes (of which there are many) are similarly derivative to the script, and all the miraculous dodging of bullets and buckshot feels rather futile. Both Mel Gibson and Goldie Hawn have made much better comedies... But David Carradine and Bill Duke aren't going after them in any of them.
