And I agree with Jason....Great review, Jaquandor. <br /><br />And I agree with Jason. That was the last really great Harrison Ford movie. Which is a shame because for a while there, it seemed like Ford would be making great movies forever. <br /><br />SPOILER<br /><br />But I have to ask: What do you consider that scene toward the end in which Kimble casually walks into a hotel room which he knows to contain a man who has little reason to wish Kimble well? The one scene in the movie in which Kimble acts less than intelligent or a calculated risk on Kimble's part? Granted, it probably wouldn't have made for much of an ending had Kimble entered that room a bit more cautiously but still...Tonio Krugerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18010189957651586318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-44456478939114440572010-09-07T17:23:21.523-04:002010-09-07T17:23:21.523-04:00For my money, The Fugitive was the last really gre...For my money, The Fugitive was the last really great Harrison Ford movies. Still holds up really well, in my opinion.<br /><br />@M.D. Jackson, I don't disagree with what you said, but I would identify The Fugitive and all the other "running from a crime he didn't commit" shows as part of a larger genre that a buddy and I call the "dude wandering around helping people" shows. They usually involve someone being on the run from the law, but not necessarily; the one thing they all have in common is that every week is a new town and a new group of people who need the hero's help. (If you really wanted to stretch the definition, even Star Trek would fit into this genre.)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11001416935247782462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-49870162232362458372010-09-07T11:11:52.110-04:002010-09-07T11:11:52.110-04:00I was worried about seeing The Fugitive movie beca...I was worried about seeing The Fugitive movie because I'm old enough to have watched the TV series and feared they'd wreck it. Amazingly, they did not.<br /><br />I'm less troubled by the fact that the police didn't pursue alternative suspects. I've watched enough police procedures to know that the cops sometimes just lock into the theory of the crime and stop looking elsewhere. Heck, take the real-life examples of people being freed on DNA after 7 or 15 or 23 years.<br /> <br />This movie spawned a 2000<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0247097/" rel="nofollow">TV series</a> which did not last very long.Roger Owen Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05298172138307632062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-49029498984464212892010-09-07T11:06:32.818-04:002010-09-07T11:06:32.818-04:00I nominate Our Town for the perfect playI nominate Our Town for the perfect playQuincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222766859070766750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338557.post-91874711791352124162010-09-07T08:56:29.826-04:002010-09-07T08:56:29.826-04:00Well, Hollywood certainly thought that the origina...Well, Hollywood certainly thought that the original FUGITIVE television series was the perfect series format, if how many times the concept (hero on the run from authorities has to prove his/her/their innocence/find a way to get back to their home planet/find a cure for the Hulk syndome before his/her/their pursuers catch up with him/her/them).M.
