Summary: the ultimate chase movie
Review: even though this is a chase movie; it's appeal lies mainly in the two leads. they are both so strongly drawn,that you will be cheering for both of them.much of the action takes place in and around chicago;and the city has a certain undeniable charisma as it is filmed here. it's a great ride for any reason.

Summary: cool movie
Review: so i'm a huge harrison ford fan and i realize i'm biased by that so i'll admit it up front. i also really like tommy lee jones and i think that both ford and jones do a good job in this movie. it's not easy to take a movie based on a tv show and do it well, but this project kept me interested, even though you know the whole time what will happen in th end. this one was a little more plot driven then it's sequel, us marshalls, and i although i usuall enjoy action, i actually liked this one more. maybe the plot just didn't seem quite so worn out yet...

Summary: Top-Notch
Review: "The Fugitive" is a first-rate movie. Harrison Ford plays a surgeon who has been framed for the murder of his wife. Convicted, he escapes in the wake of a spectacular crash and sets out to find the real murderer. Tommy Lee Jones plays the federal marshall whose task it is to catch Ford. To tell more would be to give away too much, and the editorial review above provides an adequate synopsis. Suffice it to say that this is a tense, fast-paced tale that will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is plenty of action (including some great scenes), and the battle of wits between Ford, trying to stay at large and solve the murder, and Jones, who's determined to bring him in, is excellent. Both Ford and Jones are outstanding in their roles. If you like to own videos or DVDs, this is one you ought to have in your collection. Very highly recommended.

Summary: Harrison's Best
Review: It was bad enough to see CBS pull the plug on the great CBS remake, however you can always go back and see the movie that was the 93 summer blockbuster. Though Harrison Ford will never be David Jansssen, Ford played a better Fugitive than a president. The movie is not only suspenseful but is a great mystery film.

Summary: One of the simplest expressions of Drama at it's finest.
Review: The noted Guru of screen writing Robert McKee described the chase as the purest expression of drama, from Hamlet chasing his own conscience to the Coyote chasing the road runner the chase is the purest expression of a dramatic relationship. That being the case The Fugitive must rank amongst the finest examples of pure drama. Though the drama seams principally a vehicle for potential cliché in terms of chase and evasion The Fugitive does not for a moment fall into this trap. It does give you hi energy and dramatic action of the highest quality but never as in all great films in the way you might expect. The greatest performance in the film is undoubtedly that of the actor Tommy Lee Jones who provides us with a relentless, immensely strong yet believable character who applies himself with real energy at every opportunity. Tommy Lee Jones deservedly one an Oscar for this performance though the rest of the cast not least of which Harrison Ford provide excellent performances, including the director Andrew Stevens usual crew of Chicago Police friends. The Fugitive stands many repeat performances which puts it happily into that great bastion of films that people define as Classic.

Summary: Ford hits another home run
Review: Ditto what that other reviewer said: this is another great Harrison Ford vehicle. They really DON'T make movies like this any more. It needs not typical DVD additions, not cut scenes, not trailers, or interviews.Back in the day, Wednesday morning school was dominated by the discussion of the latest episode of "The Fuge" from the night before. This is the only film I can think of which actually did justice to the classic television show from which it sprang. Tommy Lee Jones is a fantastic U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard. He appears not to be obsessed with the capture of Dr. Kimble (as was his television predecessor, portrayed by Barry Morse). Nonetheless, we get the feeling that he brings the same determination to every case he has. Ford once again is the "everyman" (if a doctor who gets sent to prison for killing his wife and then escapes can be thought of in those terms) who prevails through all manner of adversities. [As an aside, I wonder how well Ford could stretch himself - could he ever be convincing as a real bad guy, like a John Malkovich or Anthony Hopkins?] This movie has a lot of pluses. It is a great story, updated from one of the sixties' best shows. Sure, there were great stunts. The bus crash/train wreck was stunning (made even more so by seeing Ford almost comically hobbling along, trying to outrun the carnage while wearing leg shackles). However, it is the competition between the two dogged adversaries Jones and Ford that makes this work. They are one real pair of incredibly strong personalities- (and screen presences) Nothing better than the sequence in the dam early on with Ford protesting his innocence and Jones equally sincere reply "I don't care". Both smart, even though Jones hides his behind a gruff and self-deprecating exterior. The good and decent Doc must be determined (after all, it is his can on the line), but seeing him persevere - hiding his own persona in a hospital, evading the police while tracking down the one armed man is intense, even though we know the outcome. Great editing; especially when we think the Marshals are getting close to the big bust, and we find out that they are actually making a collar across town. This one is a winner.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This is not Harrison Ford'd best film it it still is excellent. Harison plays Dr Kimble who is being framed for killing his wife. Dr Kimble who is high in society has to avoid being caught in order to prove his inocence. This film is action packed with the main part being the spectacular crash scene involving a bus and a train, which is one of the best crash scenes that i have ever seen in a movie. This is a must have film, which i have on video but will be replacing on dvd as soon as it is released

Summary: Powerful 60s TV Drama Condensed Into 90s Action Movie
Review: Harrison Ford was never better than in this action-packed 90s movie version of the 60s smash TV series. As Dr. Richard Kimble, Ford narrowly escapes execution, when the train taking him to the gas chamber derails, beginning an extended run from the lawman who vowed to bring Kimble to justice. Oh, did I mention that Dr. Kimble was WRONGLY convicted of murdering the wife he loved? Of course there are many challenging "situations" Kimble encounters while searching for the real murderer, of whom he knows nothing except that he has only one arm (a detail Kimble remembered when he saw a man fleeing the murder scene). Like in the TV series, many people who intitially believe Kimble to be a murderer on the run, are eventually convinced of his innocense and often risk a lot to help him. -- This film lives up to the high class drama delivered for several TV seasons and countless re-runs. Dr. Richard Kimble lives (thanks to the ever-cranking Hollywood Machine and great actors like Harrison Ford!) This is a top notch action movie. I highly recommend it to fans of the genre. If you enjoy Harrison Ford, this is one of his finest moments!
