Amazon.co.uk Review
Do you know anyone who hasn't seen this movie? A box-office smash when released in 1993, this spectacular update of the popular 1960s TV series stars Harrison Ford as a surgeon wrongly accused of the murder of his wife. He escapes from a prison transport bus (in one of the most spectacular stunt-action sequences ever filmed) and embarks on a frantic quest for the true killer's identity, while a tenacious U.S. marshal (Tommy Lee Jones, in an Oscar-winning role) remains hot on his trail. Director Andrew Davis hit the big time with this expert display of polished style and escalating suspense, but it's the antagonistic chemistry between Jones and Ford that keeps this thriller cooking to the very end. In roles that seem custom-fit to their screen personas, the two stars maintain a sharply human focus to the grand-scale manhunt, and the intelligent screenplay never resorts to convenient escapes or narrative shortcuts. Equally effective as a thriller and a character study, IThe Fugitive/I is a Hollywood blockbuster that truly deserves its ongoing popularity. I--Jeff Shannon/I
Amazon.co.uk Review
IThe Fugitive/I could have been just another action movie, compelling in the cinema but losing impact on the small screen, were it not for two things: it has a brilliant script and a very strong line-up of actors. When eminent surgeon Dr Richard Kimble is wrongly convicted of his wife?s brutal murder (let?s face it--his story about doing battle with a one-armed intruder is hardly plausible), he's sentenced to death. Fate, however, gives him a second chance when his prison bus is involved in an accident with a train and he escapes, determined to find the real killer and clear his name. Hot on his heels is the relentless, wise-cracking Sam Gerard, a marshal with a mission. p The two stars, Harrison Ford (Kimble, kooky beard and 47 shades of anguish) and Tommy Lee Jones (Gerard, for which he deservedly won an Oscar) not surprisingly steal the show with their battle of wits and muscle. It's a rapport that develops as the film progresses, and is both complex and fascinating--no facile goodie versus baddie scenario here. And the essential slime factor comes from Kimble's sinisterly suave friend, Dr Nichols (Joroen Krabbe superb). Great story, brilliantly done; altogether, a breathlessly enthralling two hours. p BOn the DVD:/B IThe Fugitive/I special edition features a commentary from director Andrew Davis, introducing characters and offering background insight, plus a three-way phone conversation between Davis, Ford and Jones on their experiences of the movie. There's also detailed commentary on how the spectacular train crash was set up and the endless saga of perfecting the script. Also, the usual scene selections, theatrical trailer, choice of languages (English, French and Italian) and a broad choice of subtitles. A pretty impressive package overall.--IHarriet Smith/I

Error 1) Bald guard from bus is being congratulated for saving the stabbed guard (who was actually saved by Kimble) - The stabbed guard then turns up later and everyone acts as if he's just been found "under the train".br /br /Error 2) The supposedly "smart" Marshal tries to shoot Kimble during the prisoner visit when he obviously knows full well that he's innocent from the scene at the hospital.
 Great stuff! May 21, 2008
I didnt think id like this film in all honesty! I asked my dad who Tommy Lee Jones was and 2 hours later he gets this film out and demands that i watch it! With realizing on half way through that 'Han Solo' (Harrison Ford) was Richard!br /br /This film is truly a work of art and since my dad made me watch it iv been obsessed. Great acting and incredible story!
The running man December 13, 2007
More than a decade on, The Fugitive holds up surprisingly well, managing to neatly avoid the usual pitfalls of TV-series-to-movie crossovers by opting to tell a single self-contained story rather than trying to set up a new franchise. Thus Harrison Ford's Richard Kimble doesn't go on the road helping strangers resolve their problems because he's too busy trying to evade capture, prove his innocence and catch his wife's killer, making for an entirely satisfying manhunt thriller that stands on its own merits. Chief among them is Tommy Lee Jones, taking over from a dying Richard Jordan and walking off with the movie as his dogged pursuer, getting all the best lines and effortlessly outshining the film's star. br /br /Although not exactly overloaded with extras, this special edition isdefinitely worth picking up over the previous barebones release.

Just watched this on DVD. What a load of rubbish.br /br /It has no bearing on the TV series. Harrison Ford can't act.

All i can say is wow!!! JFK and The Untouchables are second and third respectively in my all time list but The Fugitive stands tall above all else. This is a film you can watch over and over again without getting bored, and this is how all films should be judged. Mr Ford is Dr Richard Kimble in a story of good vs evil. This non stop action thriller is very pleasing on the eye and doesn't give you a chance to blink. His relentless search for the truth and out thinking the people chasing him is endearing and heart stopping. The film ends in the same fashion it begins - with a bang!!! Five out of five stars without question! If you do not buy this film, or at least watch it, you are seriously misguided and are in need of help!!!
