U.S. Marshals Review |
by Pierce Dalton |
I would even say that I liked it better than The Fugitive, the 1993 Harrison
Ford vehicle for which Marshals is a sequel, or spin-off, of, so to speak. more |

by David Wilcock |
The sequel to The Fugitive (1993), U.S Marshals is an average thriller using
it's association with The Fugitive just so it can make a few extra bucks.

grizzly cop who was after...more |

U.S. Marshals Review |
by Marty Mapes |
My first reaction to U.S. MARSHALS was that there was nothing original,
nothing that broke from the action movie formula, in the entire film.
I was wrong, but not by much. more |

by Ryan Davis |
"I didn't kill my wife!" Dr. Richard Kimble shouts to his pursuer Marshal
Sam Gerard, who responds "I don't care!", right before Richard jumps from a
pipe into a river hundreds of feet below. This is a classic scene from a
great movie, 1993's The...more |

It's easy to dismiss U.S. Marshals. It's nothing more than a sequel to
The Fugitive, a far superior film. Wesley Snipes, while passable as
fugitive Mark Sheridan, is no Harrison Ford. The supporting cast blends
into the scenery as though they were...more |

The best way to approach "U.S. Marshals" is the same way I go
into the NBC Tower as an audience member for the Jenny Jones Show. (Is
she still on?) Just check your brain at the door, and try to enjoy the
ride.
It might be a difficult concept to accept...more |

Some say the ultimate flattery is in imitation. With movies, though, I say
stay away from sequels -- even if they are quasi-sequels like US Marshals.
US Marshals is a semi-sequel to the 1993 blockbuster thriller "The
Fugitive" which starred Harrison...more |

As a psuedo-sequel to 1993's The Fugitive, we can see many elements in
this film that parallels its predecessor. Tommy Lee Jones returns to
recap his role as the alpha-male US Marshal, Samuel Gerard. He leads
his band of deputies through the most...more |

I should have known what to expect when I saw the director, Stuart
Baird, whose last work was Executive Decision, a mildly entertaining but
mostly formulaic and uneven Die Hard in air. In US Marshals, Sam Gerard
is again on the hunt for Sheridan, a...more |

Whatever happened to the art of the sequel? OK, I know that, with a few

get a simple, pale remake of the...more |

Sequels to popular action films are difficult to pull off as they are, and
