The New York Times
Turns out to be a smashing success, a juggernaut of an action-adventure saga that owes noithing to the past. To put it simply, thi is a home run. [6 August 1993, p. C1] - 100
Chicago Sun-Times
A tense, taut and expert thriller that becomes something more than that, an allegory about an innocent man in a world prepared to crush him. - 90
Variety
A consummate nail-biter that never lags, it leaves you breathless from the chase yet anxious for the next bit of mayhem or clever plot twist. - 90
Washington Post
Pure energy, a perfect orchestration of heroism, villainy, suspense and comic relief. - 90
The New Yorker
It's a pleasure to find a thriller fulfilling its duties with such gusto: the emotions ring solid, the script finds time to relax into backchat, and for once the stunts look like acts of desperation rather than shows of prowess. - 80
Chicago Reader
Though it's a good half hour too long, this belated, overblown spin-off of the 60s TV show otherwise adds up to a pretty good suspense thriller. - 80
Washington Post
A flurry of stunts, close shaves and deeds of desperate daring, it easily transcends its television origins to become a stylish pacemaker-buster. - 75
ReelViews
"Innovative" is not a legitimate description of The Fugitive, but "entertaining" is.
