    A tense, taut and expert thriller that becomes something more than that, an allegory about an innocent man in a world prepared to crush him.

    Turns out to be a smashing success, a juggernaut of an action-adventure saga that owes noithing to the past. To put it simply, thi is a home run. [6 August 1993, p. C1]

    A consummate nail-biter that never lags, it leaves you breathless from the chase yet anxious for the next bit of mayhem or clever plot twist.

    The fugitive is a 10 out of 10 movie. Acting is superb. Harrison ford is amazing( highly underrated), and Tommy lee jones does a great job as well. Score is great. Great 90s music. The story is great. A great remake of the 1960s tv show. Could've been better.action sequence are great as well. Overall, this is a really good movie. Everyone and anyone should go and see this movie. This is highly recommended.… Expand

    The Fugitive is a gripping interest of plot, but it's adventure is very weak, while its story is horrible because of the horrible acting performed by Harrison Ford, Matt Damon is the only good actor for this kind of role. Anyway, the movie still really sucked, the first 10 minutes is boring, while the rest is fun. But it's a huge letdown because it has a bad taste, and the feel is uncomfortable. You have to pay attention hard to find the interest. Director Andrew David never does well. No blame to anyone else, just Andrew Davis is a director that never makes the cut.… Expand
