If you liked The Fugitive, I don't see how you could hate U.S. Marshals. The original was one of the only movies I've seen that kept me entertained without a single unnecessary explosion.

The original was one of the only movies I've seen that kept me entertained without a single unnecessary explosion. U. S. Marshals takes pretty much everything to the next level. Seeing Wesley Snipes courageously escaping from the cops and leaving the corrupt and menacing Gerard in the ground after his speech is worth the whole thing. Expand

A generic action movie, and nothing more. The plot is nothing you haven't seen before, and the 'twist' is trite and predictable.

The plot is nothing you haven't seen before, and the 'twist' is trite and predictable. Of special note is the direction, which is particularly bad; often the camera will not-too-subtly zoom in on important plot-points. There is also a cheesy overuse of slow-motion, within-film flashbacks and a score so bland you barely notice it; leading to underwhelming action sequences and a lack of tension. Characters lack substance and seem to be merely plot devices rather than people. Give it a look if you enjoyed its prequel, The Fugitive. If not, then you will not be missing anything by skipping over this film. Expand

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.

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. Expand

On a changé le docteur blanc pour un pauvre Noir apparemment sauf qu'en fait le fugitif n'est pas ce qu'il semble être, n'est pas pauvre ni né de la dernière pluie, car il y a du Statham là-dessous (même s'il n'est pas là).

Il faut dire que le scénario part dans tous les sens et a cru bon d'inclure une histoire de barbouzes à la petite semaine, mêlant le FBI, les Nations Unies (?) et... de vilains Chinois comploteurs. Robert Downey Junior vient épauler l'équipe du grand Tommy, le Marshal de choc toujours sur la brèche et qui distribue comme de coutume une moyenne de 23,6 ordres par minute. Oui, c'est bien le petit Robert, celui qui finira plus tard dans une boîte de conserve repeinte au rouleau.

C'est donc reparti pour le gros accident, l'évasion et la cavale effrénée et le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est qu'on a pas le temps de s'ennuyer : ça rue dans les brancards sans s'arrêter et Wesley Snipes n'a même pas le temps de profiter de la jolie poulette qu'ils lui ont mis dans les pattes. La réalisation est très correcte si ce n'est parfois un montage cut ici et là...

En tous les cas, on ne cherche pas à comprendre ce qui se passe et on attrape le pop-corn, car si le ridicule ne nous tue pas, c'est qu'il nous rend plus fort. Bête et divertissant à la fois, U.S. Machin passe le temps assez vite et on ne lui en demandera pas plus (de toute façon, il peut pas).
