9/18: What's left over from The Fugitive is a formula for the sequel to follow with Tommy Lee Jones returning despite his pretentious sidekicks.

U.S. Marshals seems to work for a while, but the longer it goes on, the more mechanical everything feels. It's like I have to have a checklist.

Wesley Snipes is usually fun to watch because of his magnetic personality. In this, he's plain and wooden like never before. Because of his reputation for playing good guys, I couldn't tell if I was supposed to root for him or Tommy Lee Jones. Why am I being made confused for so long?

When Robert Downey, Jr., was brought aboard, I immediately predicted the ending and was therefore correct. My regret is wasting over two hours to find out. Speaking of predictability, the Judge Reinhold look-alike is finally killed. Because of his face, he really had it coming to him.

All in all, U.S. Marshals is a repeat of The Fugitive.
