The Fugitive

The Bodyguard = Le Fugitif ; Le Garde Du Corps
May 01, 2013Keogh rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
One of the best thrillers of all time. Harrison Ford is sympathetic as the wrongly convicted fugitive Richard Kimble on the run, trying to find the man who killed his wife, conveying desperation in his every step. Tommy Lee Jones is sheer perfection as Sam Gerard, the leader of a team of marshals, gruff and gradually shifting from not caring about his quarry's claims to investigating the story. And the two leads are backed up by terrific character actors in various supporting roles, from Kimble's antagonists and allies to Gerard's marshals. A terrific and breathless film without one false step, a smart script, and outstanding direction.
