A good movie

Obviously, I had already seen this movie but the last time was a while back so I was quite eager to check it out again. Eventually, after more than 20 years, it is still a hell of an entertaining action thriller and, unfortunately, the last really good movie starring Harrison Ford (surprisingly, it was even nominated for 7 Academy Awars which is really uncommon for an action flick like this one ). Indeed, for most of the running time, I was on the edge of my set, following Richard Kimble, not a super-hero but a simple doctor, escaping the police force relentlessly chasing him. Obviously, Ford gave a really strong performance, playing an average guy in a very tight spot and, of course, Tommy Lee Jones was just terrific, playing one of the best police officers I have ever seen. The great thing about this movie is that, even though you get to see some rather preposterous stuff like in any action flick, everything displayed might actually happen in real life making the whole thing really spellbinding to watch. Unfortunately, during the last 20 minutes, they had to solve all the loose ends and then, it really lost some steam. As a result, it had to lower itself to the level of your average action feature (there is even a good old confrontation on a roof top, for crying out loud). Still, in spite of its flaws, it is a terribly entertaining flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
