Editorial Review:
An ultimately futile attempt to make lightning strike twice, this so-called spinoff from 1993's blockbuster The Fugitive avoids the label of "sequel" by forging ahead without the first film's star, Harrison Ford. The idea is to showcase the return of Tommy Lee Jones in his Oscar-winning role as tenacious U.S. Marshal Sam Gerard, this time testing his mettle against a covert government operative (Wesley Snipes) accused of murdering two secret service attachés. Unfortunately, Jones and the entire cast have been trapped in a rambling plot, and the underdog status that made Ford such a compelling hero is sacrificed to an evenly matched and eventually tiresome game of cat and mouse, with a villain whose identity is far too predictable. With no dramatic buildup and several superfluous characters to distract its focus, the film's momentum plays out like a rote exercise compared to the high stakes of the earlier film. --Jeff Shannon

U.S. Marshals [Region 2] Reviews:
GOOD CHASE THRILLER
2009-10-25 - I'm writing 11 years after the film's release on DVD and somewhat longer than that since I saw The Fugitive. Unlike many of the earlier reviews, therefore, I did not have The Fugitive in mind as a comparison with this one. From that perspective, it is not a distinctive nor a distinguished film but is a good one to occupy a couple of hours. Predictable or not, the action is plentiful, the suspense not intense but present, the lead characters well played and the movement rapid enough so as to to make you wait for some action to interrupt the talk. Jones is a bit more irritating than when in a top vehicle but plays his part well, Snipes is not given much time to develop his character but also does well, the others are up to par with a couple coming through with more impact. All in all watchable and forgettable.

Tommy Lee Jones
2009-09-07 - Tommy Lee Jones is very good as always. Snipes is a bit too much. Otherwise, very good especially the part where Downey is "found out". Unfortunately Noah dies; unlike in "The Fugitive" where he is shot at; but lives.

good
2009-02-23 - My dad and I lost our copy of US Marshals so I bought a new one and we still like it.

Great Movie
2008-06-09 - Great Movie! I do NOT know why I had never seen it before now.

Too much talk over
2008-02-28 - US Marshals is a great movie in my opinion. This edition has the director talking nonstop throughout the whole movie. I couldn't hear the actors because of the director's comments. This fact ruined the movie for me.
