The greatest crash scene in cinema.

Followed by a brilliantly made action thriller. This is one of those films where all of the components of the Hollywood machine come together and work. It's character driven, and taught because of that.

Superb viewing.

One of the best action-thriller -movies of the 90s. Great acting by Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee-Jones. Nothing bad to say about this film. Clever and nice movie. Quite peaceful for an action film, but there is nothing wrong with that. Recommended.

Classic action-thriller that doesn't fail to entertain. Very good roles for Ford and Jones.

There's a reason this was nominated seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Director Andrew Davis delivers a nonstop, suspenseful, action-packed adventure. The editing was nothing shy of fantastic - there honestly was not a dull moment in the just over two hour runtime. The score by James Newton Howard flows seamlessly during the action sequences, and cinematographer Michael Chapman provides some wonderful shots. Tommy Lee Jones gave such a great performance here that he won the Oscar and then went on to play a very similar role in two other 90s action movies (Double Jeopardy, U.S. Marshals). I remembered really liking this movie, but this re-watch upped it a notch for me. If you haven't checked this out, it's a must watch in my opinion, and if you have, I recommend giving it a re-watch.

Για ένα περίεργο λόγο όποτε τη δείχνει στο σταρ τη βλέπω.
Και ήρθε επιτέλους η ώρα να μιλήσω ανοιχτά για το ατόπημα της κομμώτριας που από σκούρο καστανός στη μέση της ταινίας καταλήγει με 'ξερασμένο' ξανθό και επανέρχεται στο φυσικό του χρώμα στο τέλος.
ΠΟΙΟΝ ΠΑΤΕ ΝΑ ΚΟΡΟΔΕΨΕΤΕ;;;;

α! και μισώ χάρισον φορντ. όχι τύπου τόμπι μαγκουάιρ αλλά νταξ τα καταφέρνει να'ναι απαίσιος.

called in sick today? this is on tv.

The plot, while it could have been just a little bit twistier for my tastes, is by no means deficient. The mystery behind the murder is revealed at a natural pace, with Kimble figuring things out in a logical manner. The reason for the crime makes a reasonable amount of sense, and although the genre savvy will be able to pick out the ultimate bad guy in advance, it’s still satisfying. And coupled with the great performances from the two leads, it makes for a very entertaining film. Read full review.

Classic but exciting thriller. Ford was good, Jones was very good and it had some really witty and bold moves in it, almost exclusively by Kimble.

The Fugitive is one of those thrillers that bring nothing new to the table, but still manages to receive well reviews from almost everyone who sees it. It's simply because it's just better made than most similar films of that genre. It's well acted, has a tight script, has good pacing and is genuinely entertaining. You root for Ford throughout the entire film and that actually does the trick. I like the scene when he takes care of that kid. It's one of the few scenes you see him smile.

But as I said. It brings nothing new to the table, and the fact that it's boring visually probably means I will forget all about it after a month or two. At least for now I was entertained!

8.0/10

The Fugitive is a great thriller that presents incredible performances by Harrison Ford (possibly the best of his career) and Tommy Lee Jones. Right from the beginning it was really interesting and clever, and its polished writing made it even better. Sadly its twist ending never convinced me and had practically no impact at all over me, but the rest of the film offers top-notch suspense.
