Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)
And just when you think this movie's going to end, it goes on for another half hour. Any police thriller that lasts longer than two hours runs the risk of outstaying its welcome, and this one passes up a few good chances to wrap it up. Jerry Goldsmith's ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Film Quips Online (John R. McEwen)

Harvey's Movie Review (Harvey O'Brien)
If fans of the original Roy Huggins TV series The Fugitive ever wondered just what Samuel Gerard did after the Kimble case, they have their chance to find out in Stuart Baird's sequel to the 1993 film version of the perennial pursuit tale, co produced by ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Harvey's Movie Review (Harvey O'Brien)

Whereas last time we had a combination bus and train wreck, this time it takes a spectacular air disaster to free Sam's future prey. Acting against type, Wesley Snipes plays a resourceful prisoner named Sheridan, who killed two U.S. secret agents from ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Steve Rhodes
Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
The story, by John Pogue, kept me guessing for about three-quarters of the way through the film and the direction by Stuart Baird kept things moving. There were a number of close escapes, some of them downright ridiculous, but except for a few scenes, ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
Michael Dequina
Tommy Lee Jones, who won the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in The Fugitive, once again plays Gerard, reinhabiting the role with the same infectious gusto and zeal he brought to the original. Once again, Gerard, this time ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Michael Dequina

Choas emerges for him in two forms. One is that of Sheridan. As an escaped convict, Gerard must bring him in. But Sheridan is extremely resourceful and thanks to his mysterious background, he manages to allude Gerard at every turn. The other element ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Homer Yen

Recimo, da ga tega filma iz spoÅ¡tovanja do mojstrskega predhodnika niso naslovili Begunec 2, ampak Zvezni Å¡erif. So mu pa zato pokradli vse razen Harrisona Forda in kakopak vse pokvarili.

Nashville Scene (Noel Murray)
Black Flix (Laurence Washington)
Okay, U. S. Marshals isn't as good as "The Fugitive," but sequels seldom are. Last time it was a train wreck. This time it's a plane crash that gives Tommy Lee Jones a chance to yell his famous tag line, "We got a fugitive!"
Once again Jones stars ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Black Flix (Laurence Washington)

Parent Previews
This movie is rated PG-13 (most movies of this genre are rated R), but parents will want to be cautious about showing U.S. Marshals even to older teens. Justice may prevail in the end, but at an exceptional cost. If Gerard was as good a cop as ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Parent Previews

ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
To me, the idea of a sequel to The Fugitive always seemed like a bad idea. True, Sam Girard (Tommy Lee Jones) was a more interesting character than Richard Kimball (Harrison Ford), but could he carry a movie on his own? Sadly, we'll never really know, bec ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Austin Chronicle (Russell Smith)
Scott Renshaw
Still, he holds up his end of the chase far better than his adversary. THE FUGITIVE won over audiences by creating a rooting interest in Kimble, an Everyman trying to get his life back. Well, Sheridan is no Everyman he's "former Special Forces, former ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Scott Renshaw
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
While I enjoyed The Fugitive, I wasn't the film's biggest booster. I thought the
coincidence-laden plot was poorly constructed. But the action sequences were often nail-biters, the
lead characters were well-developed, and the dialogue ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)

Walter Frith
Director Stuart Baird ('Executive Decision') is at the helm of 'U.S. Marshals' which can't quite avoid being a diluted remake of 'The Fugitive', as the plot is restricted once again to the pursuit of one man and the exposure of a frameup. You don't get ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Walter Frith
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
I didn't expect ``U. S. Marshals'' to be the equal of ``The Fugitive,'' and it isn't. But I hoped it would approach the taut tension of the 1993 film, and it doesn't. It has extra scenes, ...read the complete U.S. Marshals movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
