Big-screen treatment of the 1963-67 television series of the same name. The original was something special: existentialism for the masses; Swanson Frozen Kafka; an installment-plan Odyssey (or: The Longest Distance Between Two Points). And David Janssen, an actor of the narrowest range, had in Dr. Richard Kimble, innocent man on the lam, a once-in-a-lifetime role right up his alley: tucked chin, corner-of-the-mouth twitch, bright-light-in-the-eyes gaze, swallowed syllables, hair dye, and all. It must be said in fairness that the movie version is a completely separate work of completely separate purpose, a straight-ahead chase film without pit stops, in which the title character, rather than roaming aimlessly from place to place with dim hope of running into the phantasmic One-Armed Man, simply dodges the cops for the short time needed to do the detective work they should have done in the first place. It's lively, diverting, superficial, forgettable. With Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Andreas Katsulas, Jeroen Krabbé; directed by Andrew Davis. (1993) — Duncan Shepherd
