This movie is a great showcase for Tommy Lee Jones. I have been a fan of his since I saw The Fugitive. US Marshals is a great movie if you haven't seen The Fugitive. If you have, the storyline seems to be a case of deja vu. A man is arrested for a crime he didn't commit and is chased by Sam Gerard. Yada, Yada, Yada. The supporting characters are just as good, but what is the deal with killing off Newman? He had the best scene in the original with Sam (the chocolate doughnut with the sprinkles line) and he had great potential as a protege in the second. In itself, this movie is a great ride. It is exciting and makes for a good diversion. As a double feature with The Fugitive, it seems stale and unoriginal.
