A rare example of everything in the Hollywood machine coming together in the right way at the right time and working perfectly.

A first-rate thriller.

Top CriticA consummate nail-biter that never lags, it leaves you breathless from the chase yet anxious for the next bit of mayhem or clever plot twist.

Top CriticHarrison Ford mostly just runs and fights, but that's O.K. Running, after all, is what fugitives are supposed to do.

Top CriticThough it's a good half hour too long, this overblown 1993 spin-off of the 60s TV show otherwise adds up to a pretty good suspense thriller.

One of the better attempts at turning a TV show into a movie.

Relentless action + strong Ford and Tommy Lee performances make this a classic.
08/25/06

In a morally confused age, a take-no-prisoner, seemingly heartless predator like Tommy Lee Jones' Gerard could easily be elected to high political office.
