a solid 1990s classic, some parts of it feel aged today but it's still a definite solid flick as a innocent man tries to figure out why he was framed while on the run from the cops. Highly recommended if you're interested in flicks like this.
An innocent convict becomes a fugitive.

I'm with Tommy Lee Jones' character: I don't care whether or not Ford killed anyone - or about the one-armed man, and definitely not about a pharmaceuticals conspiracy. The movie's still entertaining, though. When it stays simple - just a hunter and a fugitive - it's quite well done.

great movie-one I can watcho over and over 130 min
A doctor, wrongly convicted for a murder he didn't commit, escapes custody and must stay ahead of the police. Dr. Richard Kimble must find the real killer while being the target of a nationwide manhunt led by a seasoned U.S. Marshal. The original series had 120 episodes totalling a duration of one hundred hours! The remake is 130min long. The action varies from a show-stopping train/bus wreck of Arnold Schwarzeneggerian proportions to some ironically staged pursuits which throw a welcome dash of Tom and Jerry (or rather Tom[my]Lee and Harrison) into the mix. Turns out to be a smashing success, a juggernaut of an action-adventure saga that owes noithing to the past series. To put it simply, a home run.
