He is obsessed with capturing Kimble and that is all that matters. " I don't bargain." " Well that's odd!" His portrayal of Samuel Girard is an exercise in how to make the audience relate and understand a character. But since the film did so well and everyone pretty much knows what it is about, let's talk about the true strength of the film, and that would be Tommy Lee Jones.
He never seems to let up with his relentless pursuit of the perfect scene. Along with Under Siege, he showed us that he is an efficient artist that knows how to keep the action flowing. Andrew Davis proved here that he is one of the best action directors in the business today. But I think what kept them coming back was Tommy Lee Jones. He is so great in this film and I'm sure that's why so many people went to see this film at first. He is the wronged man that has to avenge his wife's death and clear his name at the same time.
Sure he is in great shape, but have you ever seen an actor take average guys and make them so real that you want to know them? Take your pick, Han Solo, Indy and even his character in Six Days and Seven Nights was an adventurer. But as good as they are, I don't think they can hold a candle to Harrison Ford. Rambo and Rocky are household names and The Terminator and films like Commando are great partly because of Arnold's physical presence. Their characters are always larger than life.
