The Fugitive (1993) vs In the Line of Fire (1993)


which is better?

reply

The Fugitive, but barely.

reply

Apples & Oranges.. Both are Fantastic

reply

The Fugitive is ruined by that racist scene where Tommy Lee Jones murders a black escapee, despite it putting his own man at risk of death and or injury.

reply

What if the escapee had murdered Newman in front of Samuel Gerard?? Ok to shoot him then or is he still Racist?? 🙄

reply

The Fugitive BY FAR.

reply

They really are Apples and Oranges and quite different in plot. The Fugitive always seems to hold up well and In the Line of Fire is also good in it's own way, just different. No contest

reply

The Fugitive

Neither are great but IN THE LINE OF FIRE is at least somewhat more original (even if the last moment, which, one supposes, was supposed to be chilling is actually laugh-inducing). They're most just paint-by-numbers Hollywood flicks, ITLOF being the sort of blatantly commercial thing Eastwood does to get the studio to pick up the tab on some passion project of his own (in this case, i paid for A PERFECT WORLD--a MUCH better movie than either of these).
