Highly recommend the sequel US Marshals. Won't be disappointed!

Mary, The United States was shaped by thousands of immigrants from many countries. Chicago was a main starter city and the Irish gathered. They made up the majority of the fire department, police department, and tavern keepers. It's now a day for college students to flood the Irish bars and stores suddenly sell corned beef and cabbage (and other dishes). I made a Shepards pie yesterday.

Happy St. Patrick's Day (weekend)!

I would say if you found Harrison Ford looking hunky, I would recommend Indiana Jones... oh look, you have watched that one. Guess I am going to have a double feature with Mary today.

Oh, she'll definitely be disappointed in the sequel... cuz there's no Harrison Ford!

Well, obviously. I was just saying doesn't this movie and Mary's reaction to said movie feel familiar, like we've seen it before. It was meant facetiously. Did you watch the video?

Tyler Foster

I think she said she wasn't that attracted to Robert Downey Jr., so that won't make up for it, either.

Bubba Fett

I liked snipes in this one plus I thought Jones had a much better arc as well.

rant begins here- I like this movie, but the ending is a lot of 'happy ending' movie magic. Prosecutors and police are notoriously resistant to overturning convictions, and unless the one-armed man confesses, there is no real evidence to overturn the conviction. Lots of other crimes, and unethical behavior, but nothing to prove his innocence. In fact, in the real world, not only would his initial conviction likely not even be reconsidered, they might even charge him for the escape and evasion if it weren't that it would delay the execution. - rant ends here

Thank you for this Mary. This was my mom's favorite movie. Tommy Lee Jones was my mom's favorite in this movie. She loved his humor he put to his characters. All the funny words in this movie he says: We got a Gopher, You just did a Peter Pan right off the damn, But he's dead - Then he will be easy to catch. lol There is more. The part where Kimble tells Gerard "I didn't kill my wife," Tommy Lee Jones added "I don't care." I don't care wasn't in the script. I don't remember the last time I saw this movie. Must be years. Thank you Mary.

This whole movie was filmed in Chicago, where I Iive, so this was always a favorite of mine. All of the journalists you see asking questions and reporting on the story throughout the movie were actually Chicago newscasters. And St. Patrick's Day is a HUGE deal. The holiday is much bigger in the States than it is in Ireland because it's the day for Irish Americans (there are a lot of us!) to celebrate their heritage. So yes, the Chicago River is actually dyed green (non-toxic food-grade coloring) every year, a lot of the bars serve green beer, and of course there's the parade. I marched in it myself as a child, playing the clarinet (very badly) with my school band. But the coolest thing is that they filmed this at the ACTUAL St. Patrick's Day Parade! They were filming in March and got permission from the city and just sent the actors and a couple of steady-cams to walk right into the parade for a couple of blocks and get the shots they needed. So the floats, the dancers, the crowds... it was all the real thing. This is the movie that really pushed Tommy Lee Jones to a new level in his career. He actually won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this role. And by the way, another reason you found him familiar was the first Captain America movie. Great reaction! And if you have a crush on Harrison Ford (and why wouldn't you?) you HAVE to see Witness. Very suspenseful, great story. It was one of his bigger hits of that era.

I disagree. Yes, there's a lot of movie magic happening, but if things actually happened this way they wouldn't be able to NOT overturn the conviction. They have the connection between Nichols & Sykes, they have the stuff with the drug samples, Sykes' alibi would crumble with a bit of pressure, and the case had a very high profile. Public pressure would be on Kimball's side. Yes, there would be some other charges for the escape, the breaking & entering, and so forth, but that's penny ante compared to the murder charge, and since it would be seen as Kimball's only choice given his circumstances, plus he ended up doing the cops' job for them, that would likely be dismissed.

Glad you enjoyed this one. Even as a straight male, I have to admit Harrison Ford is a good-looking man, especially in his 80s/90s prime. Some others with him that you might enjoy: BLADE RUNNER (1982) - Sci-Fi "noir" set in the far-flung future of... 2019. :) (He's also in the sequel BLADE RUNNER 2049, made many years later and also quite good.) REGARDING HENRY (1991) - A quieter drama, and he plays a lawyer. :) AIR FORCE ONE (1997) - A bit too "Rah! Rah! America!" even for this American's taste, but still a very well-made action movie. ...and of course, the rest of the INDIANA JONES movies. :) Also, he has a new series called SHRINKING on Apple TV+ (not sure if that's available in Belgium). I haven't seen it yet, but it's apparently really good.
