I give it an 8.5 - 9/10.Two-Face was an atypical role for Jones, who did not necessarily relish the opportunity of playing a scene-chewing supervillain the way actors like Carrey, Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Michelle Pfeiffer, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Uma Thurman might have. The story is perhaps not exceptional, but thanks to the good directing and acting and the constant action and tension, this movie really delivers everything that you can expect from it. The result is an interesting cat-and-mouse game between him and the police that never allows your attention to fade away. He knows to escape and is determined to find his wife's murderer, but has to try to stay out of the hands of the police. He will get a lethal injection soon, but as he is transfered to another jail, the bus in which he is transported with some other inmates, crashes. He's innocent but is accused of the murder and convicted by court. The movie is about a doctor who's wife has been murdered by a one-armed man. It's probably the combination of a good script, good acting and the abundance of action that's always present, but never exaggerated. I don't know what it actually is that makes this movie so good, but it sure works. "The Fugitive" is one of those movies that you may already have seen a dozen of times, but which still seems to surprise every time that you watch it.
