That was an excellent one.

Fantastic!

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

Tommy 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.

When a prisoner transport plane carrying Oscar winning Deputy Sam Gerard as an escort crashes, one prisoner, Mark Sheridan helps him rescue some trapped prisoners and then escapes.Gerard and his team of start their pursuit, but the simple fugitive situation soon gets more complicated when Gerard learns that Sheridan is no mere criminal.At the same time, Mark Sheridan is out to find out the truth himself while keeping one step ahead of Gerard....The Fugitive was a massive hit, and a really good film as well. Jones stole the movie from Ford, thanks to his swagger and his banter with his titular team, so it was a good idea to make a side-quel to that movie.What wasn't a good idea though was to make a virtual copy of that film.The Plane crash is too similar to the Train accident, The jump from the building too similar to the dam jump, and the whole conspiracy behind the wanted man.But it's still a fun movie. Jones has lost none of his swagger form the first movie, and is a joy to watch. Snipes is pretty restrained in his role, and the team are as good as they always are, and have that beautiful banter.But it's really worth watching For Downey Jr, but only for the fact that half of the time he has a look on his face as if he doesn't know what time of day it is.Worth seeing for Jones, but nothing really special..

I was never much interested in watching this spin off of The Fugitive. What attracted me to The Fugitive was Richard Kimble's story fleshed up by Harrison Ford and truckloads of action. Tommy Lee Jones as Sam Gerard stood out and was essential to the overall balance but you would not say that this supporting character was more interesting than the fugitive.Action packed as it is US Marshals lacks a deeper characterisation of Gerard. His team, his temper, his buoyancy, his tidy boss... these are nice touches but don't really build something more than the character we already saw in the previous movie.You can take the two impressive action sequences apart and they just look like another blockbuster's tour de force. In the course of the movie they are not set up as a tension peak, they mostly happen as scripted. Surely there are too many nice/interesting characters to follow (Tommy Lee Jones and 2-3 prominent members of his team, Robert Downey Jr, Wesley Snipes and his lover Irène Jacob) so the editing rhythm is bogged down. The pace is simply not as fast as it should be for action to play to the max.Another big flaw is the 'New Fugitive' character arc: we don't know him from the get-go - whereas the premise of the original Fugitive was about an innocent man accused of his wife's murder and relentlessly tracked down - and then new elements are added that don't draw a clear picture of who he is - and if he is really innocent ! Most notably it is clear soon enough that he is not just your average man: hence empathy and rooting for him can never reach the required level for suspension of disbelief to work (I am especially thinking of the graveyard shooting, a sequence setup which looks blatantly haphazard for such big professional boys).Too bad they rushed such a script into production to poach on the Fugitive real-estate. They didn't need to have another nice innocent fugitive - especially given this protracted macguffin of a plot. Sam Gerard should have been the sole hero, attempting to stop more than a prisoner on the loose, and we should have had a better insight into the man's soul.
