Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
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.
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?
gwnightscream 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.
tieman64 "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.
