With the city in a state of panic and misinformation traveling at the speed of social media, Mike's life and family hang in the balance as he becomes - The Fugitive.
It is harmless and you may have fun with it, but this reboot is a waste of the source material. Hopefully, Kiefer Sutherland takes on a project that ends up being as iconic as Jack Bauer but this is definitely not it.
There's little in "The Fugitive" - from the title to the plot to the irresponsible TV news reporter who wrongly implicates Mike - that wouldn't be at home on a CBS series.
The fact of the matter is that this version of The Fugitive wouldn't have made a good feature-film on any platform; chopped up into 14 daily ten-ish-minute episodes, it's a laughable mess.
The dialogue is gruff and dumb, and the plot obvious, but it's fun to sample a new kind of "snackable" entertainment, meant to be consumed on your mobile phone.
Sutherland fits his role of Detective Clay Bryce like a glove and is clearly having fun embracing genre expectations. As a result this does feel like a protracted episode of 24 in parts, but that is not without some benefits.
