Everyone remembers the 1963 series where Dr. Richard Kimble (David Janssen) goes running around in every episode just missing the criminal that killed his wife. He in turn is being chased by Lt. Philip Gerard (Barry Morse) who thinks Kimble did it and is a fugitive from the law. The whole thing was narrated by William Conrad.
Well now we have the movie. This time we have a beginning middle and ending all in 161 minutes.
Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) and his wife Helen (Sela Ward) are the perfect couple. Then one night while he was working for some inexplicable reason a despicable person dispatches Helen. On her way to the netherworld she inadvertently says Richard on the 911 call. One thing leads to another and Kimble gets the blame. In the process of transporting him from one containment system to another the transport meets with a little accident; now Kimble is free to find locate the real perpetrator. Now it is up to Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) to find and retrieve Kimble.
Now that we have covered the basic there is not where to begin to tell how great this movie is on many levels. The anticipation of the chase of Kimble to find the perpetrator (by the way he has only one arm) before Gerard catches him. We get close and have a few read herrings. Tommy Lee gets to keep his stoic look as he says things like "I don't care." And "I don't bargain."
Personaly I think that the Chicago police knew all along who the real bad guy was and was covering for him several times right up to the end. They went out of there way to paint Kimble as the bad guy. Detective Rosetti (Joseph F. Kosala) also tried to stop him from revealing the real perpetrator. Rosetti referring to Kimball even after the truth is revealed "He's going down. You won't help us, you stay the hell out!"

Ah, the hunt for the one armed, one
legged, one eyed man. Whoops, other
film! Seriously, the best Harrison
Ford ever did and aside from JFK
(and Men in Black [?] - just kidding)
the best also for Tommy Lee Jones.
Great from start to finish. EVEN
the made for T.V., edited edition
isn't much worse. That's rare to
be abel to say that!

Anyone who truly enjoyed the TV series THE FUGITIVE, starring David Janssen as Dr. Richard Kimble, as I did (I still think it was one of the best dramatic series - ever), will probably be disappointed in this movie remake starring Harrison Ford as the maligned doctor intent on finding his wife's real killer, as I was. Tommy Lee Jones plays Lt. Gerard, the police officer determined to bring Kimble back after he escapes from prison (on the TV show he escaped after the train he and Gerard were riding transporting Kimble to prison wrecked). Kimble saw a one-armed man running from his house the night his wife was murdered, and is convinced he's the killer.
The movie becomes nothing more than a thrill-packed chase flick (some might say that's enough). Jones's character is much more interesting than Ford's. Ford does some very improbable things, such as going back to the hospital while on the lam and going to the jail to talk to a suspect with one arm - things that would have been thought too crazy for the TV show audience (and rightly so). Janssen's portrayal of Kimble was superb: there was a constant nervousness about him, a relentless fear exuding from him as if expecting disaster around every corner, and a bone-weariness that captured Kimble and his dilemma perfectly. Ford displays none of those qualities, and comes across as a man who is out to prove his innocence, by golly, you wait and see - despite the fact that it's almost a given from the start. And, of course, he does, and it's a dummy conclusion: it ends up he was the target of a drug scam by a big pharmaceutical company. What a drag. That never would have washed in the TV series.
I would recommend the TV series over this movie any day, but unfortunately the TV series isn't available on DVD. Why that is I don't know, but I hope it becomes available soon. Real soon.
