GOLDEN OLDIE 85: The Fugitive
I followed Tommy Lee Jones to this well-known classic, staring Jones. Harrison Ford and one hell of a tall dam spillway. I’m no expert, but I think this may be Ford’s best role. You know the story of course; worthy medical doctor, falsely convicted of wife’s murder, escapes with the help of a train wreck, manages to evade recapture by the “Big Dog” (Jones), finds actual killer (one-armed guy), brings justice to all, etc. I make it sound trite but it isn’t – it’s exciting and entertaining. My only snide quibble concerns the one-armed villain, played by Andreas Katsulas a fine actor but no object of towering physic. I have difficulty believing him capable of vanquishing Ford (Indiana Jones) in a fight.
