Summary: It's not really THAT bad.......really!
Review: People keep saying this movie sucks because it doesn't match up to "The Fugitive". Well, it doesn't; let's get that out of the way now. But that doesn't mean that it isn't a decent film. The highest points for me were the sequences with the whole "team" of Marshals, so to speak. The chemistry between Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) and his cohorts makes those scenes particularly fun. Snipes and Joe Pantoliano--whom you may remember from "The Matrix"--also give good performances. The downsides are--as everybody else will tell you--an occaisonally overwritten script, and a conclusion that makes you think--not in a provocative way, but in that you didn't understand what the hell happened at first. Nonetheless, "U.S. Marshalls" is an above average film worth seeing at least once.

Summary: Excellent movie with a few plot holes.
Review: This is an awesome movie starring Tommy Lee Jones, returning in his role of Deputy U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard form 'The Fugitive', Wesley Snipes as the fugitive on the run, and Robert Downey Jr. as a cocky DSS agent. It has parts where the plot seems to be a little thin, and is very comparable to 'The Fugitive'. Overall It is a movie that is capable of standing on it's own, but 'The Fugitive' is recommeded to be seen first.

Summary: Falls a bit short...
Review: 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.

Summary: good sequel to a great movie
Review: 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)

Summary: Tommy Lee Jones is at it again
Review: Tommy Lee Jones once again portrays the stubborn and dedicated U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, who has the job of trying to capture yet another fugitive, played by Wesley Snipes. If you've enjoyed watching The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford, then I recommend buying this film, which also has some of the actors who had the role of marshals in The Fugitive return. There are several chase scenes as Wesley Snipes's character attempts to run away from the marshals while he searches for the truth to prove his innocence. This plot is similar to the one in The Fugitive since it involves the marshals running after a fugitive whom they think is responsible for murder. Nevertheless, there are many action packed scenes and much suspense to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.

Summary: Hot Pursuit!
Review: Forget "Road Warrior;" ignore "Aliens;" don't bother with "Godfather II." The best sequel of all time?"U.S. Marshals." Now that the film doesn't have to focus on super-star Harrison Ford, they can take the concept of "the Fugitive" to all-new heights! Wesley Snipes is the greatest action actor of the modern era, and Tommy Lee Jones doggedly chases him down. I missed seeing this movie in its original theatrical release--only after it hit the discount theaters was I fortunate enough to see it on the big screen. They shouldn't have sold me the whole seat, because I only needed the edge!!! Remember the train wreck from the first movie? This one has a plane crash. FREAKY! Search every outhouse, henhouse and doghouse for a copy of this movie!

Summary: So Much Like the Fugitive
Review: They could have named this one the Fugitive II and gotten away with it. There was a slight lack of originality, but the spectacular cast pulls it off. Overall the movie was good. Tommy Lee Jones does a wonderful job and Robert Downey, Jr. was memorable as well. The comic relief was a must and was appreciated as it helped counterract the amazing suspense level present. I think I will add this one to my collection.

Summary: Great action/adventure movie
Review: Yes, we all know about the spin off from The Fugitive but this film stands on it's own as a great movie. Tommie Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes are great adversaries. Morton Downey Jr. is a great addition to the cast as are several other established and up and coming actors. See the movie. You will not be sorry. But watch it all because you might not appreciate it fully if you only view bits at a time.

Summary: "U.S. Marshals" has its moments but ultimately unsatisfying
Review: The idea of making "U.S. Marshals" was not a bad idea. After all, Tommy Lee Jones had won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard in "The Fugitive," basically because he stole every scene he was in, whether it was with Harrison Ford or somebody else. Not only was this was one of those "roles of a lifetime" for Jones, there was also the fascinating dynamic between Gerard and his eccentric cadre of assistants. So putting together a sort of "sequel" around these characters made sense, as well as giving the film its title. The only question them would be coming up with a script. The screenplay by first time screenwriter John Pogue follows the lead of "The Fugitive" by having Gerard suddenly find himself in the pursuit again of an innocent man (not that this becomes clear to Gerard until late in the film). The key differences from the first film is that the character being pursued, played by Wesley Snipes, is some sort of government super spy instead of a naive doctor, and Gerard is saddled with a government special agent, played by Robert Downey, Jr. The story line has to do with an international intrigue where not only Gerard does not know what is going on, but the audience is left in the dark as well. Then, to add insult to injury, this time it is Snipes that is doing the scene stealing. Ultimately, I think it is the convoluted plot that gets in the way of this film working as well as "The Fugitive." This is a film that should be about the characters, especially the rest of Gerard's groups, but instead you keep trying to figure out what is really going on. In fact, this time around that question ends up overwhelming Gerard's attempts to track down people. Besides, "U.S. Marshals" is one of those films where the big surprise twist does not surprise anybody. This is why the film ends up being so unsatisfying, which is unfortunate because if this film had clicked it could have been a decent little franchise. But instead of focusing on the characters there was a concerted effort to try and top "The Fugitive" which only ends up making it something of a mess, which is why this movie ends up being so unsatisfying, Besides, we had such high expectations for these characters and cast.
