Marcus,
To me, having two recognisably heroic characters coming into conflict with one another, rather than simply with baddies, introduces a fascinating dynamic that isn't present in the average action picture. (Peter touched on a similar point in his article today.) Didn't you find yourself cheering both Kimble and Gerard?
Rich,
Yeah I like the tv show too, how would you have preferred the movie to end? :-)
Peter,
I didn't mean the "Hollywood treatment" phrase to be inherently good or bad. There were a number of movies around that time that were based on classic television shows. Most weren't too great (The Saint, The Avengers etc.), but this one I thought was very good.
Matthew
