Editorial Review:
Ladies and gentlemen, be alert. We are going to initiate a hard-target search for a fugitive in an ever-widening perimeter. We will wade through swamps, prowl Manhattan streets, search every house and doghouse. We'll eat on the run, sleep tomorrow, watch our backs. And since Marshal Sam Gerard leads the hunt, we will experience suspense, action and daring twists every breathless step of the way. Returning to his Oscar-winning role from The Fugitive, Tommy Lee Jones is Gerard, joining an A-team including Wesley Snipes, Robert Downey Jr. and director Stuart Baird. (Executive Decision) to deliver adrenaline-rush excitement. The suspect: armed, extremely dangerous, perhaps linked to a spy ring. The chase: highlighted by an out-of-control 727, a death match in a ship's cargo hold, a 12-story plunge onto a moving train and more heart-pounding sequences. The movie: U.S. Marshals.

Description of U.S. Marshals (Special Edition):
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 (Special Edition) Reviews:
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.
USMarshals
2008-02-26 - The Video was very entertaining. I saw the movie a while ago and wanted to
add it to my collection.
Great Action Flick
2007-08-14 - "Get yourself a Glock, and get rid of that nickel-plated sissy-pistol."
Tommy Lee Jones.
Why?
2007-07-12 - I hated the movie, because they gave Wesley Snipes a white girl friend in the movie!
I could live without that BS in live and in the movies!
