There are some films which though they have nothing special, they make you feel really good when you are watching them. Bird On A Wire is an ordinary action comedy, but there is definitely something in the movie, which can be the very appealing staring duo of Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson and also this addictive chase that we are witnessing, that make the film to really levitate itself from the bulk of action comedies and be a really refreshing and uplifting moment, that totally makes you cheerful and joyful. You know sometimes films have to be simple and ordinary. They have to have that something that makes them accessible to a vast audience. Bird On A Wire succeeds and brings to the spectator the stimulation that he needs, he brings to him that very vague feeling of utter fulfilment which can be strongly felt, but quite difficultly explained. That is the thing that we feel when something has left to us a strong sense of joy. That is the thing that we feel when something is so light-hearted that we seem to fly in the fucking clouds. Bird On A Wire is a simple movie with a not so simple effect. It is true that while watching the film you catch yourself wanting and longing to see more, to see what will happen, to witness every little detail of that crazy hunt. And so all of these things brings us to the conclusion that a movie in order to be worthy doesn't have to be something quite exceptional. It doesn't have to be enormously weird and particularly odd. It just have to have that spark, that blink of the eye, that Thing, that make movies to be that irresistible and quite astonishing journey that we love to take.
