Critic Reviews

  • Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews

    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]

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    Tommy Lee Jones seems forever destined to be that great supporting player or that terrific co-star. But going it alone? Not so much. (Blu-ray edition)

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    '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.

  • Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid

    Perfectly watchable, though unmemorable.

  • Carlo Cavagna, AboutFilm.com

    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.

    I've never seen the Fugitive so I really can't compare. For what it is, U.S Marshals is an average popcorn action thriller with a decent cast of actors. The plot is good enough to keep you interested and there's enough action to please the diehard action fan.… More

    Nowhere near the level of the first, but really fun and a good movie on its own. Instead of following John Kimble and making a ridiculous and unprecedented sequel, it went with Tommy Lee Jones and his team. That move works all to well and has a great addition with Robert Downey Jr.… More
