A couple running away from the cops park their hot cars on the street outside their hideouts, needlessly forget their wallets and money, and travel across something like 6 US states without sighting a single police traffic stop. Their journey is both unbelievably easy and unnecessarily hard - due to the cops and their own incompetence respectively. The broader message of the film diminishes under a staggering succession of bewildering and irrational decisions. The plot relies almost entirely on the title characters ineptitude to move forward. Why do they forget their wallets and money? So they have to ask a stranger (who is an off duty cop) for help. Why do they forget their wallets a second time? So that they’re forced to ask another character for help later. If they just remembered their wallets half the movie wouldn’t eventuate. If they did almost anything right they would face no adversity at all as the police seem incapable of spotting this high profile couple in their high profile vehicles. A woman gets shot in the leg and then walks, dances, and jumps out of a second story window (hurting her shoulder, not her leg). The whole thing is too stupid to comprehend and relies entirely on the audience sympathy with the subject matter. Even if you are interested in this film, watching it will only make you less and less interested until finally the film ends and you get to go home
