Leave your thoughts about The Fugitive.
| Common Sense MediaScott G. MignolaHeart-pounding thriller with great acting. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellA tense, taut and expert thriller that becomes something more than that, an allegory about an innocent man in a world prepared to crush him. |
| Reno Gazette-JournalForrest HartmanExcellent battle-of-wits thriller led by stars Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittNo fewer than six editors stitched his shots together, giving the most hard-hitting scenes a furious rhythm that contributes greatly to their impact. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA super-adrenalized stemwinder, a crisp and jolting melodrama that screws the tension so pitilessly tight it does everything but squeak. |
| About.comFred TopelGood but overrated. Exciting, but mystery falls short. Bad guy comes out of nowhere. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertDavis paints with bold visual strokes so that the movie rises above its action-film origins and becomes operatic. |
| Three Movie BuffsScott NashThe pacing is terrific and the action always kept on a realistic level, even when it's clearly over the top. |
| Chicago TribuneGene SiskelI've already seen The Fugitive twice. I'll probably see it again. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt's as powerful as it is bruising, with more surprises than "Jurassic Park" and more sheer energy than any action movie this season. |
