The Fugitive: Samuel Gerard's Leadership

When the move The Fugitive was released in 1993 I was adamant to see it straight away. Harrison Ford was one of Hollywood's hot properties and, moreover, a leading role had been given to Tommy Lee Jones, for whom I had grown a soft spot. Initial reviews were glowing and critics seem to agree unanimously that a potential cult movie had been born. When I left the movie theatre I wasn't sure what had kept me spellbound; the special effects, the storyline, Ford's and Jones' terrific acting or that I'd actually met one of the actors -- Jeroen Krabbè - two or three times in real life. Or, of course, all of the above.

Loving movies, it wasn't the first time I saw a good production, but this time something else was at play -- and, for the life of me, I couldn't figure out what it was. To get my finger on why I stayed in awe of The Fugitive I went out to buy the VHS to watch it again until I could figure out why the movie kept me so occupied. Read my blog here http://bit.ly/IWUPHy
