Fled ripped off midnight run???


I don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not, but the movie Fled (terrible movie) totally ripped off a lot of the story elements from this movie. In Fled, and ex-cop (Lawrence Fishburne) has a white collar criminal in his custody that the Feds want. The criminal (Stephen Baldwin), has stolen a large amount of money from the mob, which he gave away to charity. The criminal has incriminating evidence about the mob on disks, which they desperately want back. the ex-cop ends up turning him loose in the end.

I can't believe no one else has mentioned this, probably because most people were smart enough not to watch "fled", but I don't know how they could be any more blatant in ripping this movie off.

Flashback 1989 also had many of the same elements. Oh well. Midnight Run did it the best, AFAIK.
