DVD REVIEW:
I actually enjoyed this movie a lot. I know that many people felt it was “The Fugitive” all over again but this movie really kept me interested for the whole 131 minutes.
From the so-so reviews on this movie, it’s not bad at all. I think that people tend to compare this movie with its predecessor “The Fugitive”. But it was an entertaining movie and if you give it a try, you will enjoy it. Tommy Lee Jones does a great job!
As for the DVD, since this is one of the older special edition DVD’s released, it is double sided. The good news is that the movie is one sided but the special features are on the other side. As for special features, there is quite a bit of cool features like the behind-the-scenes documentary, how they made the plane crash, tv and movie trailers, historical documentary, commentary and more.
One of the better and older Warner Bros. DVD’s giving fans more for their buck! Check it out!
