Plausibility

The Fugitive

One of the few movies I can watch every few months.


An exciting movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie.  It doesn't have the plot that most movies featured here have, but anything with Harrison Ford has some dramatic acting.

The only part I didn't like was the end with the laundry room.  It was out of character for the fugitive to get violent and vigilante on us.

The film was an adaptation from a long-time serial drama on TV.
