      Critics Consensus

      A rote albeit well-cast action thriller, U.S. Marshals suffers badly in comparison to the beloved blockbuster that preceded it.

      Andy B I watch the Fugitive over and over. Once is enough for US Marshalls! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Audience Member Good movie with good action as well as a plot twist Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Louise C An overly convoluted tale that does not measure up to the excitement provided in the previous film, 'The Fugitive'. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/23 Full Review Jack O U.S. Marshals is a film that got people interested in watching this, just like me. But what shocked me about this is the fact that this is a sequel to The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford. Tommy lee Jones is at his best in The Fugitive because that's his Oscar winning role as Marshal Sam Gerard. Hey, I just watched the Oscars, I haven't seen the film before but I am interested to go see it. In U.S. Marshals though, Tommy Lee Jones is back as Marshal Sam Gerard along with his team as they go and track down another fugitive called Mark Sheridan, who attempts to escape government officials following an international conspiracy scandal who sets him up. I have to be honest, guys, I really kinda like the plane scene where it crashes with the prisoners and marshals inside. Actually, didn't Executive Decision did that? Yes it did. The chase sequences are enjoyable to watch for those of you are intrigued. From what I've experienced in U.S. Marshals, I actually kind of like it but I haven't even seen The Fugitive and I hope I would be able to watch it cause I've heard it's fantastic. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review K P Exciting movie with good cast. It's nice to revisit the acting Downey Jr. did pre-Marvel. He was always an excellent performer who was less limited in his roles before taking on the role of Stark. Don't get me wrong, he was a good fit for Stark. I just enjoy the freedom he had to improv more than in the Marvel universe just as his improvisation of the classic Downey Jr. Iron Man line added a small peek of what his creative license can add to movies. Granted, US Marshals was right before a jail stint that arguably changed his life, it is still a movie worth watching to all fans of Downey Jr from before taking on the role of Stark and those who only know him as Stark. Another favorite of mine from the time period, Wesley Snipes adds a lot of value with his onscreen talent to this film. Tommy Lee Jones (always an excellent addition to most any cast) also does a good job in his role despite the argument that his role doesn't live up to the Fugitive, he still plays a more than suitable supportive role. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/06/23 Full Review Jess D Sensational escapism! It's not as strong as "The Fugitive", but it doesn't ever try to be. Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Downey, Jr. at their best!

      Martin Hoyle Financial Times Jones redeems all: he plays the ruthless pursuer with the faintest hint of send-up, the merest suggestion of camp. Jan 21, 2023 Full Review Geoff Brown Times (UK) This aims to be a sequel to the screen version of The Fugitive, but the job needs more than a lazy revival of Tommy Lee Jones' character. Jan 20, 2023 Full Review Mike Clark USA Today The movie is basically a clip reel of action production numbers, though admittedly some of these are staged with a ta-da-da-da sense of showmanship. Rated: 2/4 Jan 9, 2018 Full Review Michael Dwyer Irish Times The movie's raison d'etre is to pile one energetic action set-piece atop another. Director Stuart Baird, a long-time film editor who turned director two years ago with the gripping and under-rated Executive Decision, delivers these setpieces with aplomb. Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Gary Wolcott Tri-City Herald Jones has a zillion funny lines, a cast of offbeat assistants to bounce off of and enough action sequences to keep you glued to your seat. Jan 24, 2023 Full Review Dan DiNicola The Daily Gazette (Schenectady, NY) Like most sequels, this one is sharp and fast-paced, but it's a formula nevertheless.
