Save your money for something good and enjoyable

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

"The Fugitive" from 1993 was bound to be a tough act to follow. Even so, it doesn't come as any surprise that a follow-up film was commissioned. Tommy Lee Jones returns to the role which earnt him the oscar for best supporting actor and this time, he is up against political opposition as well as everything else. "U.S Marshals" has Sam Gérard (Jones) and his team of fellow police officers on the trail of another wanted fugitive (played by action hero Wesley Snipes). The film doesn't exactly thrill or grip its audience in the way that "The Fugitive" does and just cruises along in middle gear. There is still a fair degree of incident and a few action sequences which should please the fans but that's about all. Tommy Lee Jones is the one to watch above all but Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr provide great support. Jones is once again provided with some effective one-liners in his scenes with the other police officer actors. The scene where Snipes makes good his escape from the plane wreck is very capably handled but the plot becomes slightly difficult to follow afterwards. This is due to too much going on at the same time and it leads to confusion. Not a bad film but no masterpiece.

Quite what Wesley Snipes' character was wanted for,I lost interest in,as the usual mix of clichés reeled off.Tommy Lee Jones as the(stifles yawn)cavalier and maverick officer who doesn't give a stuff about authority. Kate Nelligan ,who,in a previous existence was an classical actress but here she's a glamorous superior officer who appears magically out of various choppers into these danger zones ,immaculately besuited as if she's come out of an important meeting and she's not best pleased.She's permanently down on him and of course there's sexual tension between them.Godammit ,she loves the guy! Patrick Formaldahide,another Brit with an accent,introducing inter-departmental rivalry,of course, placing one of his officers with Jones who,naturally,hates him because producers of this kind of thing have to have tension all the time ,you understand.On and on it went.We had Jones' loyal team whooping it up in a bar and watching themselves on TV.Buds all round,you guys! An utterly ridiculous plane crash from which somehow Snipes manages to escape.An episode in a swamp where Snipes gets away from about 6 people by holding up the ,you guessed it, rival officer. I confess to giving up at the halfway point...can you blame me?

This is more of a spin-off than a sequel to The Fugitive because it focuses on Tommy Lee Jones' character and the U.S. Marshals which actually isn't a bad idea for a movie. It doesn't have what made The Fugitive good and to the people who say it brings nothing new to the action genre well, it's not supposed to. It's not meant to be groundbreaking it is just a popcorn flick that was meant to entertain and it works. It should have been a box office success, but it wasn't. Just like the first movie I thought it was a bit too long and could've been a bit shorter, but it's just a minor complaint. If you're looking for some cheap entertainment then this is a good choice.

This is the first time i have watched this movie and this movie has been out a long time. I loved The Fugitive and the whole Sam and Dr. Richard Kimble, cat and mouse. I was a little disappointed when i realised this was going to go down the same road but the plane crash was spectacular and kept me watching and wanting to see more. I am used to seeing Snipes as a villain so to see him as the running good guy didn't really cut it for me. Downey Junior didn't need to be on screen long before I figured it out he was the one that Sam needed to be after after all and he was actually the best character in this film. This disappointed me really though as if i could figure it out so quickly that he was the bad guy and believe me I am no miss Marple surely the great Deputy could have? But hey, all ends happily and Sam gets his man, unfortunately it does result in one of the regulars being a causality. Its worth an hour or two one Sunday afternoon when there is nothing else on but as for another film, thank goodness they realised Sam couldn't handle that.
