The Fugitive

The Fugitive (1993) starring Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Sela Ward, Julianne Moore, Joe Pantoliano. Dr. Richard Kimble (Ford), falsely convicted of killing his wife (Ward), escapes and goes on the run, pursued by a dogged U.S. Marshal (Jones). The scene where Kimble escapes is spectacular, involving as it does a bus crash followed by a special-effects train crash that really blows you away on the big screen. Aside from the excellent acting (Jones won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor), this film benefits from a brilliant script and the constant tension of the chase. It's one of the best movies I've seen this year. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: A-
