Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times Directed with surgeon-like precision by Chicago native Andrew Davis Aug 5, 2023 Full Review Duane Byrge The Hollywood Reporter Call something a "real train wreck" and it's considered a put-down. Not in this fast-track, no-stops chase movie with a massive train-wreck scene that's going to have audiences scrambling for cover. Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Clifford Terry Chicago Tribune Working from a tight script by Jeb Stuart and David Twohy, director Andrew Davis has fashioned a crackling, intelligent thriller. Rated: 3.5/4 Aug 19, 2014 Full Review Don Shanahan Film Obsessive Leave it to a bona fide star like Harrison Ford and an emerging one then in Jones to put together one of the slickest cat and mouse movies of its era. Jul 5, 2025 Full Review Zaki Hasan IGN Movies It’s the rare '90s TV-to-film adaptation that transcended its roots to become a beloved classic in its own right. Dec 26, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This contains enough suspenseful set-pieces, clever red herrings, and spectacular stuntwork to satisfy most thriller aficionados. Yet what really makes the movie work are the performances by the two leads. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 25, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Ben W Truly such an unexpected surprise! I was not expecting to enjoy this film this much! I’m so glad I finally saw this classic movie! IN THE THEATER! Loved it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/17/24 Full Review Zachary Jacob S Definitely a very solid film! A bit rough in some spots, but absolutely delivers a compelling story! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Andy C A timeless classic. This film is non-stop action from the very first scene. A nightmare scenario that has you on the edge of your seat. You cannot help feeling desperately sorry for Dr Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) as he flees not only the Chicago Police Department but also a team of inept U.S Marshals led by Tommy Lee Jones (A slick performance to say the least) This film is captivating with some great stunts, great twists and an ominous musical score that perfectly captures the sinister undertones of the plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Mike F Worth every minute of your time. They don't make many like this anymore. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/19/25 Full Review Sergio N. I never get tired of watching this movie, I barely noticed that’s it’s connected to U.S Marshals lol Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/25 Full Review Joseph M A near perfect thriller. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
