Review
Tommy Lee Jones reprises his Academy
Award winning role from
The Fugitive in this quite
enjoyable sequel. The script is a complete rehash of the original,
almost a carbon-copy, with Wesley Snipes taking Harrison Ford's place.
And although U.S. Marshals isn't too far off when it comes to
pacing and suspense, with some superb action set-pieces as intensifiers,
the muddled, exorbitant political espionage plot doesn't feel as
pertinent as Richard Kimble's personal struggle. Consequently, the chase
sequences drag out and the film loses tension towards the end, with
little help from Jerry Goldsmith's overdramatic score.
