The Fugitive (1993)
Director: Andrew Davis
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A glossy, formula chase movie with the requisite number of extravagant action sequences (most notably a massive train crash). Brilliant doctor Richard Kimble (Ford) flees death row after wrongful conviction for his wife's murder. He vaguely recalls what the culprit looked like, but can he evade the authorities long enough to track him down? More or less as soon as you see him you know who the villain is. Ford is up to par for the strenuous stuff, but falls short on the grief, anxiety and compassion, allowing Tommy Lee Jones to walk away with the show as the wisecracking marshal on Kimble's trail.Author: GA
