"Three Fugitives" has an opening twenty minutes which could have been problematic it has been so well executed, but fortunately this film has something truly worthwhile to develop into. It boasts a lot of good action sequences and features comedy which is genuinely funny - especially during the bank robbery at the beginning. It also manages to strike an incredibly entertaining balance between being a whimsical slice of family friendly fare with the always charming and delightful presence of Sarah Rowland Doroff - an absolutely enchanting child able to effectively burrow her way beneath even Nick Nolte's gruff exterior to secure a place in his affections - and something aimed towards a more mature audience by providing a liberal serving of swearing and violence. This parallel approach could have derailed the entire film and it is a relief to find out the complete opposite just happens to be true.
