Summary: Good Stuff
Review: I am torn between four stars and five stars. Generally, to earn five stars from me, it has to be a movie that I could see many times, even in one week. This movie does not qualify for that. Although it is very good, I can only watch it once every six months or so. However, since it really is good, it should qualify as five stars, especially compared to other four star movies.

The acting is good, the cinematography is great, the transfer is very good (especially considering it was one of the early DVDs to hit the market) and the special effects are good enough that you hardly notice them (which is what I consider good -- you don't notice that they are there).

The suspense is high in that you don't know if he will get caught (no, I won't tell you). There are small surprises at every turn, but not enough depth to bear rapid repeat viewings. Still, it is one of the modern day classics, so give it a try.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: "I loved it"
Review: The Fugitive is probably one of the best suspense thrillers that ever existed. The screenplay is tremendous, the acting is magnificent, and and the directing is amazing. This movie is a whole lot of thrills and edge-of-your-seat-excitement. The casting is great and this is Andrew Davis's only picture where there was something besides fights and violence (Under Siege was only good for an action fan like me but not for many others). There is a whole slab of drama mixed in and the acting is amazing. Harrison Ford delivers probably his best performance ever and Tommy Lee Jones fully deserved his Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as the U.S. Marshall who means business. Though it is a lot better than it's sort of sequel U.S Marshals and has a much better cast and director, you can't really say this is the best movie you've ever seen.

The Fugitive tells the story of Richard Kimble, played by Harrison Ford, a doctor living with his wife in a normal house. However, one night his wife is brutally murdered as he comes home and he is the only witness to it. The murderer is a "man with one hand" while the other is plastic. Kimble is framed and put on a train to jail. However, the train soon collapses and Kimble gets out. And know he must prove his innocence to everyone including a U.S Marshal named Sam Gerard (Jones) who doesn't care about anything except catching Kimble. I don't know the bad guy's name but he was also the bad guy in the James Bond flick The Living Daylights with Timothy Dalton. The movie is a pure blast of fun. Though really not for small children, people over 12 can watch this movie. It is not incredibly bloody and is a true masterpiece that deserves to be owned.

I give Fugitive 4 stars.
Time: 131 minutes.
Rated PG-13 for some scenes of strong realistic violence, mild language, and murder& disturbing images.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding film!...
Review: This is one of the best adventure stories, best mysterys, best suspense-thrillers of 1993, of the 90's of all time. Harrison Ford is brilliant. Tommy Lee Jones turned in the best performance of his career. It also has one of the top 5 action movie stunts ever recorded on film. That train wreck sequence is just so heart pounding, edge of your seat, biting your nails down past the cuticles exciting that you just have to stop and watch it again, rewind it immediately and just watch two or three extra times. Phenomenal, phenomenal story, performances and film as a whole.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic
Review: I found this movie absolutely fantastic. It was a well crafted picture, and is an instant great, thusly my short review on this movie. I do have one thing I did not like is the constant flash backs, but otherwise its totally chipper.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Fugitive
Review: The other really awesome action film of 1993 held its own against JURASSIC PARK to not only become a big box-office hit but go so far as to be Oscar-worthy. We all know the Academy is just a bunch of stuffy cronies who hate action films, so it's VERY surprising (and refreshing) to think that THE FUGITIVE was nominated for Best Film! Harrison Ford is his usual commanding self as Dr. Richard Kimble, a man who we all know is wrongly acccused for the muder of his wife. Tommy Lee Jones, who won the Best Supporting Actor Award, is at his best as the cop trying to hunt Kimble down. Director Andrew Davis' approach to the material is superbly- crafted, with some incredible action set-pieces along the way. Jones reprised his role in U.S. MARSHALS, but the original is the best. One of the greatest action films of the 90s. The extras on the DVD are a great improvement from the original release, with a commentary from Davis and Jones (sadly, Ford is missing), two featurettes, trailers and more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: This is one of the greatest Harrison Ford movies. In this movie it shows the struggle of what happens and what you feel like when you are accussed falsely.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE
Review: Wow, this movie is just great. It is filled with action and is smart. Its a story about a man who has been wrongfully accused of murdering his wife. He is hunted through the city, woods, hospitals, throughout the movie. The marshall that is after him will stop at nothing to find him. Dr. Kimble though must find a way to prove that he is innocent, and find the real killer. This is just 2 hours of non stop excitement.

The sequel "Us Marshalls" is not even half as good. I wouldn't recommend it.

Also the movie "Wrongfully Accused", which is a parody of this movie and a couple of others, was not that good, it had some good laughs but overall it wasn't worth it.
