Review of The Fugitive (1993) by Arth J — 23 Apr 2018
Come on doc..
The Fugitive.
It is one of those features that completely relies upon the screenplay and not the concept for no matter how simple it gets its twists and tricks will bedazzle the viewers in each and every frame as it ages on screen. Andrew Davis has done a plausible job as a director but the real game changer in here is the co-writer; Jeb Stuart, who also wrote the infamous Die Hard. Harrison Ford pulls it off like a charm along with a brilliant performance by Tommy Lee Jones which got him a well deserved Oscar for it. The Fugitive has everything in its right place i.e. from gripping screenplay to exhilarating chase sequences (one of the best part of it is that it keeps the audience engaged through these close encounters in the cat and mouse chase), from twisted plot to brilliant performances and from amazing background score (James Newton Howard has as always done a marvelous work in here) to beautiful cinematography.
