Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
View MoreIt's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
View MoreBack in '98, I'd gone to see "U.S. Marshals" with my dad while Mom went to see "L.A. Confidential"; and for years, I though she'd gotten the better end of the deal.That's still true today, but I found myself engaged from beginning to end. It's not great, especially if you hold it up against the first movie - and Downey's character is the worst - but Stuart Baird keeps things moving and it's a decent police procedural. Unnecessary sequel? Sure, but you could do a lot worse.
View MoreTommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, Robert Downey Jr., Kate Nelligan, Irene Jacob and Joe Pantoliano star in this 1998 thriller sequel to "The Fugitive." Snipes (Blade) plays Mark Sheridan, an ex-government agent who is on the run after he's falsely accused of murdering 2 federal agents and tries clearing his name. Jones returns as U.S. Marshal Deputy, Sam Gerard who is sent on another manhunt. Downey Jr. (Iron Man) plays government agent, John Royce, Nelligan (Dracula) plays Gerard's boss, Catherine Walsh, Jacob plays Mark's girlfriend, Marie Bineaux and Pantoliano (Risky Business) also returns as U.S. Marshal Deputy, Cosmo Renfro. This is a pretty good sequel and Jones & Snipes are great in it. I recommend this.
View More"You wanna start running again?" - Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) "US Marshals", a sequel to "The Fugitive", finds actor Tommy Lee Jones and his band of likable trackers hot on the trail of Mark Roberts (Wesley Snipes), a man wrongly convicted of a crime.Jones has become a bit of an archetype, popping up in countless cat-and-mouse/predator-and-prey movies over the years. In films like "The Fugitive, "Men In Black", "The Hunted", "Three Burials", "US Marshals", "In The Valley of Elah", "The Missing", "In The Electric Mist" and "No Country For Old Men" (though there he is mockingly cast as an inept tracker), Jones plays a consummate blood-hound, a man bred for hot pursuit. He is typically without attachments, stern but witty, authoritative and forever determined to apprehend his prey. "US Marshalls" sticks to this formula, but some solid action sequences, a brisk pace, many one-liners and some likable side characters ("Marshals" rightly recognises that the coolest characters in "The Fugitive" were Tommy Lee Jones and his motor-mouthed gang) keeps things fun."US Marshal's" best scene? A riff on Gene Hackman's Santa suit sequence in "The French Connection", in which Tommy Lee Jones conducts a pursuit and stakeout whilst dressed as a giant yellow chicken. Seriously.Incidentally, Wesley Snipes would find himself becoming a fugitive on the run in real life, the FBI currently tracking him for tax evasion. The film also stars Irene Jacob. What's she doing here? See her in three masterpieces: Kieslowski's "Three Colors: Red", "The Double Life of Veronique", and Antonioni's "Beyond the Clouds".7.9/10 – Worth one viewing.
View MoreThis is literally the worst movie Jones has appeared in yet. That he could act in this civil rights garbage is dumbfounding. A very sad attempted redo of the great original movie starring Harrison Ford, The Fugitive. The movie is based on the premise that a black male (Smipes) would be wrongly accused by law enforcement of murder, perhaps a 1 in 500 million chance, usually they are doing a great job at being able to catch the many criminals, many of whom happen to be black. He is accused of murder, while in a hospital after a car accident. It also is very strange that they pair Snipes up with a recent White French immigrant woman, also unlikely and not something most would promote in an expensive studio feature movie.
