The movie itself is a 5-star movie but I can only give this release three stars because of the simply horrid transfer afforded it. Until Amazon comes up with a different rating system that allows us to grade the technical quality of the product (transfer etc) and the product itself (the movie) I have to give it a lower score than the movie deserves.
The movie features Harrison Ford as Dr. Richard Kimble, a man falsely accused of the murder of his wife. Escaping from captivity a manhunt is launched for Kimble, led by U.S. Marshall Samuel Gerard (played in an Oscar winning performamce by Tommy Lee Jones). The ensuing action details Kimble's attempts to clear his name, all the while trying to evade his pursuers. Director Andrew Davis crafts a taught and exciting movie and delivers what is one of the best movies of the 1990s. But for all the movie does right Warner have seen fit to deliver it to Blu-ray in a transfer that is at times painful to watch with a soft and undefined image that contains large amounts of grain and is overall dull with a lack of detail. The Blu-ray fares somewhat better in the audio department however with a very active, if average by todays standards, track. Where Warner does deserve high marks is inclusion of all of the special features from the Special Edition DVD including a feature-length commentary track with Davis and Tommy Lee Jones that contains a lot of good information despite some long pauses. There os also a smattering of featurettes.
Overall a disappointing presentation of an exceptional movie. Here is hoping that Warner revisits this title soon
"Why even waste energy pretending you don't love it?"
Let me be honest with you. I'm 27 years old, I like to drink and smoke and hang out with my friends, and I could not wait to buy The Fugitive last week. It was 1 cent used on Amazon and that made me so happy. You can go through a million movies and TV shows in which someone false gets accused of a crime, but what you'll ultimately think of as your barometer for that sort of thing is The Fugitive. It remains so exciting, tense, such a hair's breath away from total discovery. It gets you so extraordinarily invested in the justice-demands-it plot of Harrison Ford's wrongly accused Dr. Kimball as it does Tommy Lee Jones's Agent Gerard. I've liked a lot of strange foreign, indie, "old" movies over the years, but if I had a couple hours to spend on a cold day, I'd probably spend them with The Fugitive, caring about everyone, being pushed along bold storytelling momentum, stuck desperately wishing for justice and luck to work out just a minute longer for Sam Kimball - at least I'd know I'd be in good company.
Harrison Ford is suburb and Tommy is true to form. Great story line. All the actors worked well together and transition even makes its way to Tommy's character.
"Great Movie! Poor quality dvd."

No doubt about it this is a great movie. It was nominated for Best Picture in '93. But my three star review is for the poor quality dvd. The picture is very grainy. I'm waiting for Warner Brothers to come out with a better quality dvd, maybe a 20th aniversary edition-where they can use a better quality copy of the film for the dvd transfer. And from what I understand the Blueray version is not much better.

This VHS arrived, I must admit I was expecting a DVD, but that was my error not the seller. We did enjoy the movie and the tape had no faults.
