pretty good followup

Okay, so "U.S.Marshalls" is basically just a remake of "The Fugitive". As such, it received lukewarm to cool reviews when it was in the theaters, unjustifiedly so, I think. Although the plot line is a ripoff of the earlier movie, this one does well in keeping us in suspense as to the story behind the central character, and the action is exciting and well-paced. Tommy Lee Jones of course "makes" the film, accompanied by the same cast of deputies as in the earlier movie. There are even "toppers" for the bus crash/train wreck and famous swan dive from the earlier movie. This is a very good escapist action flick.

Why do they keep sending him after innocent guys?

Capitalizing on the success that Tommy Lee Jones scored in The Fugitive, his character of Marshal Sam Gerard was given the lead in US Marshals where he is once again going after an innocent man. In this case Jones's target is Wesley Snipes who is not only an accused murderer of two agents, but he's accused of treason as well, passing secrets to the People's Republic of China.

Tommy Lee Jones won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for The Fugitive, but he's not doing anything remotely reaching Oscar contention in US Marshals. It's a hastily and poorly written script with a lot of nice action sequences to cover that up. The airplane crash sequence where Snipes escapes from Jones's custody is well done as is his escape from an old age home on to the roof of a moving subway.

As we know early on that Snipes is innocent, I'm here to tell you that the guilty party stands out like a sore thumb. A five year old child could tell you who the real bad guy and traitor is.

Jones, Snipes and the rest of the cast do a workmanlike job. But this one is for easy to please action/adventure fans.

Not as good as The Fugitive

U.S. Marshals Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) is forced to tag along on a prisoner transport plane after his latest take-down causes some PR problems. On the plane is a prisoner with many aliases (Wesley Snipes) who was picked up after a car accident. On the plane, somebody tries to kill him only to damage the plane forcing it to crash. He escapes and now Gerard is coming after him. Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.) is forced on Gerard's team.

It's a sequel to the great 1993 'The Fugitive'. Tommy Lee Jones' Gerald returns as well as much of his team. They do a good job, but it is nothing more than a lot of TV cop teams nowadays. The movie deeply misses Harrison Ford. Wesley Snipes is a cold super agent and the franchise is completely changed. The plane crash seems derivative as if the movie makers decided that the train crash should be improved upon. The super agent spy stuff seems incongruous to the franchise. Everything is bigger to distract from the less than compelling story. At least, everything is done well and the movie is watchable.
