Man I posted here without actually mentioning anything about The Fugitive itself. I saw that movie in theaters and loved it. I have to agree about the third act though. I think part of why it's not memorable is that the tables have turned enough that the suspense is kind of gone. Especially leading up the the fundraiser/award dinner and stuff, Ford already knows everything, like the movie's kind of spins its wheels a bit waiting for all the major characters to converge in one spot. There's so many moments in the second act where Tommy Lee Jones is extremely dangerous to be around and the pacing is great. Timby posted:James Newton Howard deserved to have a more prolific career. Dude's score is amazing. This and was The Fugitive the first thing to repeatedly use a lot of "we're in a city now" establishing shots where it's a long very very direct overhead pan of a building because that was in every crime procedural type show for like the following decade.

Wheat Loaf posted:The Fugitive was nominated in 1994 along with In the Line of Fire and another movie which beat both of them. And that movie (and remember, this is ostensibly for mystery/crime films) was Falling Down. "Sorry we only accept films where the protagonist actually did commit the crime."
