Synopsis

In this near-perfect suspense movie adapted from the popular 1960s television series that starred David Janssen, renowned vascular surgeon Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) has been falsely accused and convicted--on circumstantial evidence--of his wife's (Sela Ward) murder. While Kimble is being transported to prison, another convict stabs an inattentive guard, causing a massive wreck. Kimble escapes but is hunted by tough U.S. marshal Sam Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones). The fugitive from injustice attempts to set the record straight: He transforms himself into a jack-of-all-trades and a man of a thousand faces in a desperate attempt to uncover the truth about his wife's murder and track down the real killer. Spectacular special effects and a pulse-pounding performance by Ford turned Andrew Davis's thrilling film into a blockbuster at the box office, leading to a sequel, U.S. MARSHALS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kimble On The Run, 20 April 2008
By DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Harrison Ford is Dr Richard Kimble, a specialist at a Chicago hospital. He's out having fun with his wife when he gets a call to do some emergency surgery - so he leaves his wife to go home, as he goes off to help. What he doesn't know is that while he's doing important surgery, some crazed man is killing his wife, and he's squarely put in the frame for her murder, and even sent down for it. Kimble has to prove his innocence - and evade the obsessive Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), who doesn't want to let it slide - he wants Richard, preferably alive.

I really enjoyed The Fugitive, every time you think it can't get better, it does. The action is great and Harrison Ford is very convincing. I also liked the way he kept investigating the case even though he knew the US Marshals were after him.

The HD transfer isn't bad, but not as good as I've seen so far, yet, the MPEG2 running at a steady 20Mbps average is pretty good. The audio is a bit flakey, 448kbps. The picture is full frame 16:9, so you won't be having to peer through a letterbox to watch the action.

The extras are not bad; an introduction, audio commentary which includes Harrison Ford, 2 featurettes and a rather poorly encoded theatrical trailer.

This isn't a bad transfer picture wise, but the audio could have been much better - still if you're an avid Fugitive fan you'll want this, otherwise the DVD is just as good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Defining film for the later Harrison Ford, 6 Dec 2008
By Martin Turner "Martin Turner" (Marlcliff, Warwickshire, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
I've seen this film a dozen times, and, after Blade Runner, it was the first thing I bought on Blu-Ray.

After Star Wars, Blade Runner and Indiana Jones, Harrison Ford established himself -- largely through this film -- playing middle-aged professionals up against terrifying odds. It's a role he was, perhaps, born to play, and in some ways there is a smooth evolution from Han Solo to Deckard to Indiana Jones to Dr Richard Kimble.

This is an electrifying film. The best known scene is Kimble diving off the side of a dam into the churning water beneath, but, in truth, it turns on the encounter between Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and the red-haired A&E doctor Dr Anne Eastman (Julianne Moore). Kimble (Ford) risks his freedom switching the instructions on a patient that Eastman has misdiagnosed. When she finds that the child has been sent to the operating room instead of observation, she runs after Kimble, insisting that he stop. Later, Gerard interviews her. After she has explained herself, she tells him she's very tired and wants to go. Gerard asks: "How's the boy doing?" Eastman replies: "He saved his life."

From that moment on, Gerard pursues Kimble not because he believes he is guilty, but because he believes he is innocent.

A much less successful sequel, US Marshalls, followed as a vehicle for Tommy Lee Jones, but without the frisson of the relationship with Ford, it failed to capture the imagination.

Blu-ray is obviously more expensive to collect than DVD. From my point of view, this film was an easy choice: I shall watch it many, many more times.
