With all due respect to Han Solo, Indiana Jones, Jack Ryan, and John Book, Dr. Richard Kimble is Harrison Ford’s best performance. That’s not exactly a hot take. The 1993 thriller, The Fugitive, which celebrated its 30th anniversary this week, is adored by many, and Ford’s performance is often singled out by critics, such as Roger Ebert, who noted in his review:
This was right near the end of Ford’s remarkable run that started with Star Wars in 1977 and more or less ended with Clear and Present Danger in 1994. After that, he appeared in several high-profile projects, including Sabrina, Air Force One, What Lies Beneath, more Star Wars and Indiana Jones films, and Blade Runner 2049, but none had the magic of his earlier efforts.
Ford was the main draw here, and the iconic actor delivered the goods, turning in a nuanced performance that relies more on quiet glances and physicality than over-the-top theatrics. He’s the straight man to Jones’ scene-chewing Samuel Gerard, more empathetic than magnetic, and more of a regular man caught up in extreme circumstances than a red-blooded superhero.
Check out the scene in the clip below. Oh hell, watch the whole thing and marvel at how much subtle acting Ford does in four minutes, all the while cleaning blinds and typing on a computer: Director Andrew Davis also gives Ford the spotlight when Kimble calls out his best friend in front of a crowd and then proceeds to beat the holy shit out of him. Again, Ford’s physicality is on full display. He’s not quite Indiana Jones, but he’s no pushover, either. The actor finds the perfect line between an enraged husband and capable fighter, so that we never question Kimble’s abilities.
