U.S. Marshals
(1998)
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 pertinant 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.
