Product Description
From Amazon.com
An ultimately futile attempt to make lightning strike twice, this so-called spinoff from 1993's blockbuster The Fugitive avoids the label of "sequel" by forging ahead without the first film's star, Harrison Ford. The idea is to showcase the return of Tommy Lee Jones in his Oscar-winning role as tenacious U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, this time testing his mettle against a covert government operative (Wesley Snipes) accused of murdering two secret service attachés. Unfortunately, Jones and the entire cast have been trapped in a rambling plot, and the underdog status that made Ford such a compelling hero is sacrificed to an evenly matched and eventually tiresome game of cat and mouse, with a villain whose identity is far too predictable. With no dramatic buildup and several superfluous characters to distract its focus, the film's momentum plays out like a rote exercise compared to the high stakes of the earlier film. --Jeff Shannon
Chronique amazon.fr
Le Fugitif (avec, dans le rôle principal, Harrison Ford) avait en 1993 lancé la mode des transpositions au cinéma des séries télé à succès. Mission impossible, Chapeau melon et Bottes de cuir suivaient avec plus ou moins de bonheur. Mais plus qu'une adaptation, Le Fugitif opposait deux personnages forts, aux caractères bien marqués : le Dr Kimble et son alter ego, le flic interprété par Tommy Lee Jones. Ce dernier reprend ici son personnage et donne la réplique à Wesley Snipes, spécialiste des films d'action. Riche de cascades aussi nombreuses et spectaculaires que Le Fugitif, US Marshals est le type même du blockbuster américain que l'on suit les yeux fermés. --Marc Anthony

sequel ( of sorts)to the fugitive but also works very well as a stand alone film,
By
This review is from: U.S. Marshals (Special Edition) (DVD)
this movie is a sequel of sorts to the fugitive,but works just as wellas a stand alone film.this time around the U.S Marshals are led once again by Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard.(Tommy Lee Jones)but this time they are chasing a much more dangerous prey,a robber and murderer.but not just any murderer.this guy has some special skills.Wesley Snipes plays the hunted this time around.Robert Downey Jr plays a special agent assigned to assist Gerard and his team apprehend the killer.Kate Nelligan plays Gerard's boss,and while she has little more than a cameo,she really impressed me.she has some great screen presence.Jones is also very good,as always and Downey adds some sleaze to the proceedings(that's a good thing).Snipes is outstanding as the pursued.as for the movie itself,the story is deeper and more developed.there is quite a bit going on here.there's much more intrigue and plot twists than in "The Fugitive".i also like that there is some close quarter hand to hand combat in this movie,which "The Fugitive didn't' have. it's a bit of a different movie than "The Fugitive",but just as good.Stuart Baird directed this movie.he also helmed "Executive Decision" and "Star Trek:Nemesis"both of which i enjoyed.if you enjoyed those two films,you will probably like "U.S.Marshals".for me,this movie is a 4/5.

Falls a bit short...,

This review is from: U.S. Marshals (Special Edition) (DVD)
Supposed to be a sequal to the amazing movie 'The Fugitive'...it falls a bit short in comparison.Tommy Lee Jones is still as sassy as ever in U.S. Marshals - but it's a bit too predicable. Still has some good suspense - which I do enjoy.

This review is from: U.S. Marshals (VHS Tape)
though it doesnt have the title The Fugitive 2...it takes another look at a wanted man who is framed for a murder he didnt committ...good and solid performances by Tommy Lee Jones(The Fugitive, The Hunted), Robert Downey, Jr.(Gothika, In Dreams) and the awesome Wesley Snipes(Blade 1 and II, ZigZag)...this came out in the same year his smash Blade did....and I always say..hey, thats the movie Snipes did before he did Blade...cool..anyway. the plane crash is good, chase scenes are good and the finale is down right Downey deadly..though lacking in some parts it picks it up with energy..for the fans of the stars or for whoever like The Fugitive with Harrison Ford. also starring Irene Jacobi(1995's Othello remake), Tom Wood(The Fugitive and Under Siege), Joe Pantoliano(The MAtrix, The Fugitive, Memento), Daniel Roebuck(Money Talks, Final Destination), Kate Nelligan(The Cider House Rules, Wolf), LaTanya Richardson(Lone Star,The Super), Michael Paul Chan(Spy Game, Batman Forever), Patrick Malahide(The Long Kiss Goodnight, The World Is Not Enough) and Rick Snyder(The Generals Daughter, The NEt)
