Ford was nominated for his only Oscar as Best Actor for his forceful performance as John Book, a tough Philadelphia cop who flees into the world of the Amish to both protect a boy and his mother, and to hide from corrupt cops on his trail. With no thought of killing the boy, Book knows the child is in grave danger so stays to protect him, falling in love with his mother. Ford is superb here, whether violently defending the peaceful Amish, dancing in the barn to sixties music, or fearlessly risking his life to protect the mother and son, he is flawless. We see the yearning between them, the love they share, and long to be together in an impossible world.
After having a near marriage ruining affair, a hotshot lawyer is accused with her murder. Ford is excellent as Rusty, the man accused of killing his mistress because she was no longer interested in him.

Ford is very good as an innocent man accused of a terrible crime, yet the real crime is who did kill the woman, and how Ford will live with that the rest of his life. The look on his face as it is detailed to him how the woman was killed, by the killer is haunting, some of the finest acting he has done. A tightly directed thriller by Alan J. Pakula, written with precision, acted beautifully.
A seething performance from Ford as Ally Fox, a brilliant inventor who breaks from society, buying an island in the tropics where he takes his family to live off the land. Ford stalks the film, always talking, always moving, building his own paradise in the jungle, but doing so with an edge, something that should warn us. When a group of soldiers come to his camp, he tries to kill them in the freezer he built, but their weapons destroy the camp. Devastated by his failure, Fox takes it out on his family, who one by one break from him. It is a startling performance because we have not ever seen him like this, then or since. It is a journey into a man’s heart of darkness, and it is a journey from which there is no escape.
This little film was a Henry Winkler film, a starring role for the actor who had portrayed Fonzie on TV. But this is Ford’s film, he is haunting as a Viet Nam veteran who misses the war because he liked it. Lanky and lean, his eyes have seen far too much in combat, altering the course of his life in every way. The film was a critical bust, though many critics praised Ford for his exceptional work. Winkler and Sally Field are blown off the screen by Ford. The film was made a year before the onslaught of films about Viet Nam began, and was lost if the year end mass of Oscar contenders, not that it ever was one, though Ford would not have been out of place for supporting actor. A case of a single actor making a film far more watchable than it deserves.

Unfortunately, the main outlaw here is Harrison Ford, whose tired acting suggests he'd woken up too many mornings in the drunk tank before saddling up for production. Cowboys & Aliensis worth a watch for Paul Dano's performance, but not even the draw of cowboys literallyfighting aliens can carry this blockbuster flop.
