Trivia:

Harrison Ford had never seen a single episode of the TV series "The Fugitive" (1963), upon which the film was based.

Goofs:

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Cosmo Renfro (Joe Pantoliano) is being taken out of the hotel on a stretcher, you can hear his voice saying "Tell Sam Gerard I'm going home now. I'm taking my vacation." However, it's very easy to see that he is not talking.

Quotes:

Dr. Kathy Wahlund: If he came to me I would help him, but he wouldn't come to me. It's not his style.

Movie Connections:

Spoofed in "Robot Chicken: Bionic Cow (#3.17)" (2008)

Soundtrack:

Tahiti Tahiti

Good acting and directing, constant action and tension. Even after many years this movie still stands

"The Fugitive" is one of those movies that you may already have seen a dozen of times, but which still seems to surprise every time that you watch it. I don't know what it actually is that makes this movie so good, but it sure works. It's probably the combination of a good script, good acting and the abundance of action that's always present, but never exaggerated.

The movie is about a doctor who's wife has been murdered by a one-armed man. He's innocent but is accused of the murder and convicted by court. He will get a lethal injection soon, but as he is transfered to another jail, the bus in which he is transported with some other inmates, crashes. He knows to escape and is determined to find his wife's murderer, but has to try to stay out of the hands of the police. The result is an interesting cat-and-mouse game between him and the police that never allows your attention to fade away.

The story is perhaps not exceptional, but thanks to the good directing and acting and the constant action and tension, this movie really delivers everything that you can expect from it. I give it an 8.5 - 9/10.
