When he walks into the seminar and starts just yelling at Nichols, then the "fight scene" ensues. His actions were completely out of character and it almost ruined the entire movie.
Very good up until that scene.
I think it's fair to assume that after every thing he's been through he's close to break down not to mention this is the first time he's seen his 'friend' since he found out he tried to have him killed but got his wife instead. When you think about it that way he was pretty restrained IMO.
Hey! You're not old enough to drink! Now go and die for your country!!!
I agree with Mikey.
The poor guy's been accused of his own wife's murder for about a year, haunted by her death every day, been on the run, and then finds out his friend was behind it all along, I don't think there's a "normal" way to act.
My only thing is Dr. Nichols smashing that chair across his back like something out of WWE. (Gotta love balsa wood)
Yes, Dr. Kimble had just humiliated him in front of some high-profile colleagues and his expertise would surely be called into question; still that just seems out of character for a dolled-up 50-something pathologist.
The Ending almost seemed like He, Richard was being Arrested again.
There should have at least been a scene where they Re-try Richard and Exhonerate him or where he is aquitted on the Murder of his wife.
Or heck, even where he goes back to his Home, and has a drink or something like that.
I agree; a scene of him walking out of the courtroom a free man surrounded by reporters would have been a great ending, even if it's some time down the road. Maybe he and Gerard have become good friends by then.
