Nothing quite like Harrison Ford punching people in the face

Increasingly convinced movies have never gotten better than this

i love these 90s movies where there's absolutely no subtext or thematic content, everything is exactly what it is, no attempts at big ideas or grandiose statements, and a film like the fugitive is keenly dedicated to providing a propulsive pursuit at every turn. this shit has SIX editors, and boy oh boy does it feel like it; each scene is completely functional and necessary, nothing's out of place, precise clockwork storytelling. and as a lovely showcase for the chilly ambience of chicago? fucking superb

“I didn’t kill my wife” / “I don’t care” is such a perfect and simple fuck-you to every florid, indulgent, hyperdramatic dialogue exchange that a writer thought would “deliver a real gut punch”

Y’know, I’m starting to rethink this Provasic prescription my doctor put me on.

*Was a 78, now a 97*

Not only a great Chicago movie, but one that uses the city as a maze for a relentless cat-and-mouse chase. It's both a memorable location and a functional setting. Andrew Davis' direction is tough, sturdy, economical. Not a single scene is wasted, offering momentum for both action and character, and the Harrison Ford/Tommy Lee Jones dynamic is unparalleled. A front to back classic.

Harrison Ford has really bad running form this whole movie, I’m surprised he manages to get away so often.

Insanely suspenseful, well-written script surrounding two great central performances in Tommy Lee and Harrison. You can put this on anytime, anywhere and at any point and I’m 100% in.

Chicago cops can't read.

we used to make MOVIES in this country we used to have MOVIE STARS we used to cast TOMMY LEE JONES what the fuck happened to us
