You won't be disappointed!
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

View MoreThere are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
View MoreThe FugitiveIt is one of those features that completely relies upon the screenplay and not the concept for no matter how simple it gets its twists and tricks will bedazzle the viewers in each and every frame as it ages on screen. Andrew Davis has done a plausible job as a director but the real game changer in here is the co-writer; Jeb Stuart, who also wrote the infamous Die Hard. Harrison Ford pulls it off like a charm along with a brilliant performance by Tommy Lee Jones which got him a well deserved Oscar for it. The Fugitive has everything in its right place i.e. from gripping screenplay to exhilarating chase sequences (one of the best part of it is that it keeps the audience engaged through these close encounters in the cat and mouse chase), from twisted plot to brilliant performances and from amazing background score (James Newton Howard has as always done a marvelous work in here) to beautiful cinematography.
View MoreI feel like all the Oscar love gives this film a strange reputation. Did it deserve them? In hindsight, probably not. Does that somehow make this a lesser film? Of course not.This is an entertaining thrill ride but lacks the subtlety, character nuance or social/political relevance to leave a lasting impact. Does anyone really remember the plot? Or just the chase scenes and waterfall dive and insane train crash and the two great actors facing off in what is basically their movie star personas perfected?(How did Tommy Lee win for this? I don't know what his perception was at the time but this is a straight Tommy Lee perf. I love him and all but there was also Fiennes and Postelthwaite that year. Just saying.)
View MoreI have never seen the TV show, but as a thriller The Fugitive is very good. It has a wonderful script, fast paced and pulls in many different characters. I also like that it covers the investigation, trial, escape, the chase, and all the other elements of the story. Andrew Davis did a very good job directing. It is very well shot, especially the chase scenes and the flashback scenes. It has a wonderful cast, especially the flawless performances of Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford. The Fugitive is an incredible thriller. I have seen the movie many times, and enjoyed it every time. I watch it every now and then just to be reminded how good a thriller can be without relying on special effect, loud noises, and bright lights. Andrew Davis has made many good movies, but this is one of his best. It is one of the best thrillers from 1990's. It is a must see thriller. It is very good
View MoreComing from a hit television series, this film tells of Dr. Richard Kimble's quest for the truth behind the murder of his wife, a crime for which he is accused. The film is a classic police thriller, with an innocent running away from a police officer who pulls his booties to pick him up. The thrill of the film lies in this game of cat and mouse and the mystery surrounding an unresolved crime. Harrison Ford gives life to the doctor trapped in this trap, while Tommy Lee Jones is the investigator whose mission is to catch him. Both actors are at their best and both are able to do a masterful job in this film at what they have done best to this day. There are no great special or visual effects. This film is worth the story that counts and the talent of its central actors. And that was definitely a good bet.
