Critic Reviews

It isn't just a high-powered summer blockbuster. It's something cannier (and rarer): a suspense thriller rooted in character.

-Owen GleibermanFull Review

A first-rate thriller.

-Richard SchickelFull Review

A consummate nail-biter that never lags, it leaves you breathless from the chase yet anxious for the next bit of mayhem or clever plot twist.

-Leonard KladyFull Review

Though it's a good half hour too long, this overblown 1993 spin-off of the 60s TV show otherwise adds up to a pretty good suspense thriller.

-Jonathan RosenbaumFull Review

Both stars have toughness and restraint that make their characters' battle of wits truly hypnotic, and in many ways more credible than it was on television.

-Janet MaslinFull Review

"Innovative" is not a legitimate description of The Fugitive, but "entertaining" is.

-James BerardinelliFull Review

Davis paints with bold visual strokes so that the movie rises above its action-film origins and becomes operatic.

-Roger EbertFull Review

A flurry of stunts, close shaves and deeds of desperate daring, it easily transcends its television origins to become a stylish pacemaker-buster on the order of "Die Hard, MD."

-Rita KempleyFull Review

A juggernaut of exaggeration, momentum and thrills.

-Desson ThomsonFull Review

Heart-pounding thriller with great acting.

-Scott G. MignolaFull Review

Taut, effective serial-chase story.

-Steven D. GreydanusFull Review

A rare example of everything in the Hollywood machine coming together in the right way at the right time and working perfectly.

-Jeffrey M. AndersonFull Review

Real escapist cinema.

-Full Review

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

-Angie ErrigoFull Review

Tommy Lee Jones offers the fun and drive of this largely implausible but highly enjoyable remake of the popular TV series.

-Emanuel LevyFull Review

One of the better attempts at turning a TV show into a movie.

-Ken HankeFull Review

Relentless action + strong Ford and Tommy Lee performances make this a classic.

-Steve Crum

Ford and Jones make admirable adversaries, Ford a resourceful but vulnerable hero and Jones a tough and relentless cop with a touch of compassion....

-John J. PuccioFull Review

A hair-raising, adrenaline-charged chase movie.

-Chuck O'Leary

A glossy, formula chase movie with the requisite number of extravagant action sequences (most notably a massive train crash).

-Geoff AndrewFull Review

In a morally confused age, a take-no-prisoner, seemingly heartless predator like Tommy Lee Jones' Gerard could easily be elected to high political office.

-John Wirt

Very good, but not perfect.

-Michael DequinaFull Review

Excellent battle-of-wits thriller led by stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones.

-Forrest Hartman

The opening scene is powerful and puts you on the edge. This film works!

-Moira Sullivan

Good but overrated. Exciting, but mystery falls short. Bad guy comes out of nowhere.

-Fred Topel

...still stands up today as it did eight years ago as the definitive example of how to make a summer movie right (heck; how to make any movie right).

-David NusairFull Review

Overrated, but fun.

-Alex Sandell

Fast-paced and slickly enjoyable chase thriller.

-Scott Weinberg

Not only did they get their smarts by casting Harrison Ford and the engimatic Tommy Lee Jones, they wrote a script (screenplay by Jeb Stuart and David Twohy) that was filled with tension, sprinkled with suspense, choca-bloc with action, and for the most p
