This film has a very high repeat viewing value. On every viewing you discover something new. The score perfectly fits this montage. The best part is that the US Marshals working as a team to capture Kimble all have well developed personalities rather than being just stock characters. Refreshing take. Pulse pounding film.
This whole movie is great, but I think if you watch Tommy Lee's expressions during the montage scenes, you can tell Gerard slowly starting to think that Kimble really is innocent.
Just two of the many reasons why this movie is brilliant: 1) they did a really good job disguising *SPOILERS* Dr. Nichols was the bad guy. This scene--being honest with Gerard, praising Kimble--really makes you not be suspicious of him. 2) this is one of the few stories, period, where two characters are going against each other, yet both are good, likable, and most importantly, SMART. That's _very_ hard to pull off in any story, whether film or novel.
You make a lot of good points, although I think the movie did too good of a job making Gerard likable. I understand he's not a villain, but he still has to be scary enough that when he's chasing Richard, we too feel fear. The thrill of chase scenes is dulled if both hunter and hunted are conceived as "good."
@@mphlohi He knows those are his best moves to keep the scent off of himslelf, although his fatal mistake was denying knowing Dr. Lentz to Gerard and Cosmo's faces (which also illustrates how much he doesn't care about Lentz and framed him, whereas he cares about Richard despite needing him out of the way).
I love how this scene shows that Kimble doesn't match the usual kind of suspects that Gerard goes after and yet Gerard wants Kimble to fit the profile rather than to understand Kimble's motivation behind his escape. As a result, Gerard is chasing Kimble not just to arrest him, but also to silence his nagging suspicion that Kimble may be right.
Sam HAD to get Richard 1. so the real killer(s) don't get him 2. so the bloodthirsty Chicago Police Department don't shoot him oh and 3...personal satisfaction...he knew the man was beyond innocent...but getting him ensuring his safety and Kimble spilling his guts about Devlin-McGregor Provasic and the other goofy bastards meant Gerard and the U.S. Marshals could "GO GET EM"
Just before this scene, Dr Nichols admitted to the Marshals that he gave Kimble some money. Doesn't that make him guilty of aiding and abetting a known criminal? How was he not arrested on the spot?
@@Mrpastry909 Pretty much.. they could bust him when they pick Richard up if he was legitly guilty he wasn't; so they got him him for something better. You can tell Gerrard didn't trust him a bit to begin with.. he would always have a look on his face whenever they met up and he needed one big lie to want to bring him in. Genius acting on Jones's part he really sold it.
I was in Chicago last year when I visited the U.S. and I totally forgot this was a Chicago movie!!! I even went to the Merchandise Mart and across the Wells Street Bridge where Richard called his lawyer!!
This is a 90s classic. I love the hunter and hunted narrative, the Kodak cinematography and synthwave soundtrack. It feels like a Michael Mann film

At the end of the movie he Finally found out that Richard is innocent

Bestest review ever.. Gr8 observation
Plus giving Richard a handout, and when Richard suspect Dr Lentz, he confirms to him Lentz is dead.

1:45 a really 90´s scene..
"if I fell down these stairs I'd be a goner, id be dead ."
I LOVE the montage music 🎵. 😉🙂👍
That room in the basement makes me wanna take a nap
In my opinion, Harrison Ford, was perfect for the role of Richard Kimble I really liked the way you said when I came home, there was a man in my house
Just before this scene, Dr Nichols admitted to the Marshals that he gave Kimble some money. Doesn't that make him guilty of aiding and abetting a known criminal? How was he not arrested on the spot?
Just a theory--they probably wanted to keep him free to keep tabs on him in case Richard came to him again for help.

Kimble had a whole federal task force on his ass and still busted moves all around them. 😂
Continuity error: At 0:21 he takes photos wearing the green shirt. At 0:26 he buys the green shirt.
This music is lit
Holy shit i forget its chicago i live there and they filmed in downtown in this scene very cool how most things stayed the same here 2021
I think the soundtrack perfectly matches Chicago
I was in Chicago last year when I visited the U.S. and I totally forgot this was a Chicago movie!!!
I even went to the Merchandise Mart and across the Wells Street Bridge where Richard called his lawyer!!

This scene is a pitch too high, but it actually sounds better.
If you want help gentlemen you come to the wrong man Richard is innocent you never find him he is too smart.
No doctor would speak that way to law enforcement
I'm surprised Department of Corrections allowed that beard to continue after his conviction & death sentence.
The OST in the film alone is better than most movies in the last 30 years.
Smart
1:40 Is that Julianne Moore who is seeing Richard Krimble on TV?
Don't think so, but she is in the movie as a nurse at Cook County Hospital.
Much realistic

Such a great movie but Tommy Lee Jones - an over actor and hate how he seems to be shouting everything he says during the movie!!
Could do without the loud-ass music.
