Review of The Fugitive (1993) by Grant S — 20 Jan 2018
Great thriller.
A highly-respected doctor, Dr Richard Kimble, is convicted of the murder of his wife. He maintains he is innocent, claiming that a one-armed man killed his wife and he stumbled across the murder. En route to the penitentiary the prison bus has an accident and Kimble manages to escape. Now he sets out to prove his innocence by tracking down the one-armed man. Hot on his trail is a highly-resourceful, single-minded Deputy US Marshall, Sam Gerard, and his team.
Great thriller. Wasn't always apparent that this was going to be the case though as the first third or so of the movie was more just about Kimble running away: physical feats etc. However, from a point it became quite intelligent as Kimble investigates who killed his wife and Gerard tries to get one step ahead of him. It became more of a crime-drama and less of an action-drama, which was a very good thing.
The intensity towards the end is almost off the scale, making for very entertaining viewing.
