Thoughts on The Fugitive (1993)? (en.m.wikipedia.org)

I watched this movie last night and I absolutely loved it. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones both killed it. The pacing was perfect and intense. It was all around an amazing film. I wondered why it didn’t win best picture that year until I saw who did win it.

It's a great suspense/chase film. Some iconic scenes too. I haven't seen it in a few years, but it definitely holds up. They shouldn't have bothered any the sequel though.

Yah I saw the sequel in the Wikipedia page and it just seemed so wrong after the way the film ended

I enjoyed the sequel. Partly because it’s set in NYC.

Just a Tommy Lee Jones cash grab. I would recommend avoiding it.

There was a sequel?

[–] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yeah, about Tommy Lee Jones and his crew - US Marshals

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

I've seen this movie! I guess I never realized it was a sequel and just suspected that Tommy Lee Jones was playing a similar role to the one he played in The Fugitive, which is not uncommon.

Yep. With Wesley Snipes as the fugitive from the Marshalls.
