Critics Consensus

Exhilarating and intense, this high-impact chase thriller is a model of taut and efficient formula filmmaking, and it features Harrison Ford at his frantic best.

Call something a "real train wreck" and it's considered a put-down. Not in this fast-track, no-stops chase movie with a massive train-wreck scene that's going to have audiences scrambling for cover.

3.5/4

Working from a tight script by Jeb Stuart and David Twohy, director Andrew Davis has fashioned a crackling, intelligent thriller.

Leave it to a bona fide star like Harrison Ford and an emerging one then in Jones to put together one of the slickest cat and mouse movies of its era.

It’s the rare '90s TV-to-film adaptation that transcended its roots to become a beloved classic in its own right.

3.5/4

This contains enough suspenseful set-pieces, clever red herrings, and spectacular stuntwork to satisfy most thriller aficionados. Yet what really makes the movie work are the performances by the two leads.

I really don’t have to many complaints, I just think some elements of the story are improbable, but that is really it

One of the most impressive things about The Fugitive is that it’s not good guy vs. bad guy, it’s good guy vs. good guy. Both Dr. Richard Kimble and Deputy Gerard are just trying to do what they think is right. They’re also both highly intelligent individuals, so the cat & mouse chase feels balanced and exciting. And even when you know how the story ends (because you’ve seen this film many times), it’s still entertaining to watch the plot unfold. Harrison Ford plays the hero well, and Tommy Lee Jones is fantastic. The Fugitive is one of the few examples of a film adaptation of a TV series done right.
