Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
alexanderdavies-99382 "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.
lois-lane33 RE an IMDb comment 'Noah was shot multiple times being accurate'-well no its not-he was shot once by Wesley Snipes character-BANG-one shot-and Wesley Snipes character. WS character had also used bits from a Police guys glasses to free himself from handcuffs. The Police person later discovered a lens missing from his glasses when he tried to use them to read-but the part Wesley Snipes character used from the glasses was one of the side frames that holds the glasses to the head-not a lens-which is the part missing. Thats maybe nitpicking to some people but I think its really an out and out mistake. This 1998 film is highly derivative of the 1993 film The Fugitive where the same US Marshal team initially appears. I thought the remake of the 1947 film (it was also a mid 1960's TV series) The Fugitive in 1993 with Harrison Ford was a watchable movie but this one is a bit too similar to that 1993 film to really be called original-I think. Nonetheless fans of action films will appreciate the action in this one. Not a classic but more or less OK. Robert Downey Jr plays a bad guy well-but did he really have the time to change his weapon to a Glock from 'a nickel plated sissy pistol?' Probably not.
johnrgreen 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?
TopperHarley29 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.
