Peter Travers

For dynamite suspense loaded with thrills and wicked fun, you can’t beat The Fugitive — the summer’s best action blaster. Read full review

I've already seen The Fugitive twice. I'll probably see it again. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

The Fugitive is hardly Hitchcock — it never taps our emotions in a way that threatens to transcend the action — but it’s a mainstream thriller made with conviction, intelligence, and heat. In Hollywood, that used to be called professionalism. These days, it’s rare enough to look like artistry. Read full review

Jay Carr

A hugely entertaining adrenaline rush of a thriller that does a couple of simple things right. That's all it needs to do. First, it casts Harrison Ford in the title role of convicted wife-murderer Richard Kimble, ever scrambling forward, one step ahead of pursuing cops, while hunting the real killer. Second, it never stops. [6 Aug 1993, p.41]

Empire Angie Errigo

The performances transform this otherwise orthodox cat-and-mouse movie into a gripping experience. Read full review

Stephen Hunter

The Fugitive runs hard and true the whole way through. Read full review

Jay Boyar

Most big-screen adaptations of small-screen fare seek to discover some deeper - or, at least, more complex - implications of the material. But in this new Fugitive, the filmmakers have taken just the opposite approach. Read full review

Can you say "The greatest action film of all time"? That is, in this reviewer's opinion, exactly what "The Fugitive is.

Harrison Ford is awesome as Richard Kimble, a man who is falsely accused of killing his wife. Tommy Lee Jones won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Deputy Marshal Sam Gerard, who doggedly pursues Kimble through nearly half of Chicago. I found myself getting totally caught up in the suspense and actually rooting for Kimble to escape. Pick up this film as soon as possible. You won't regret it.… Expand

They don't make em like this anymore. Utterly convincing and so dramatic you can watch it over and over again, even when injected with commercials it wont let you off the edge of your seat.

Great movie with a top story, even though in the end it became unrealistic. The famous and great actors did a perfect job.

One of the best "wrongfully accused" movies ever. Ford and Jones play their roles to perfection and keep the action and suspense at top notch. Some dated graphics take a bit away from the overall effect as does the whole drug industry finale but The Fugitive is still a great and suspensefulOne of the best "wrongfully accused" movies ever.

Me acabo de ver una película de Harrison Ford que quizás la conocía o la había visto una vez por televisión, pero vaya, ya se por que el actor es tan respetable en sus papeles no aventureros.

Ademas, esta película del Fugitivo, tiene un buen manejo de la cámara, te puede decir cosas sin necesidad de contarla con diálogos, herramienta muy bien hecha en el cine.

Se la recomiendo a cualquiera.… Expand

Frenética e intensa de principio a fin, "The Fugitive" esta perfectamente interpretada por dos grandes: Harrison Ford y Tommy Lee Jones. Bien contada la historia, con una gran guión y una magnífica dirección, todos los condimentos para que guste y mucho la película.

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 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
