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.

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.

Jones redeems all: he plays the ruthless pursuer with the faintest hint of send-up, the merest suggestion of camp.

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.

Like most sequels, this one is sharp and fast-paced, but it's a formula nevertheless.

| Original Score: C+ | Jan 19, 2023

There's some kitsch value, and maybe even some entertainment value, and, unlike so many of these movies that came out then, this one actually, somewhat, stands the test of time.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 29, 2022

...a compulsively watchable endeavor thats heightened by top-notch action set-pieces and a series of first-class performances...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 2, 2022

Unforgivably, it's reminiscent of a remake, since the idea of Gerard repeating his hunt for a nearly identical felon is improbable even in a fictional scenario.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 25, 2020

US Marshals merely spins through the pursuit-thriller motions.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 1, 2018

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 9, 2018

If you can get past the naked exploitation of this mercenary sequel, U.S. Marshals is a sort of brain-rotting kind of fun (how's that for an endorsement?). [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 6, 2012

'U.S. Marshals' is not a bad film; it's just a very derivative one, with not enough of its own voice to persuade us it's anything more than a copycat.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 5, 2012

| Original Score: B- | Sep 7, 2011

Perfectly watchable, though unmemorable.

Tommy Lee Jones is the only reason to see this sequel to The Fugitive, and the strength of his character is probably the only reason it was made. The story just doesn't hold together.

If you're interested in more than cheap thrills and bravado, you may be disappointed.
