I watched this movie last night and I absolutely loved it. Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones both killed it. The pacing was perfect and intense. It was all around an amazing film. I wondered why it didn’t win best picture that year until I saw who did win it.
It’s a great suspense/chase film. Some iconic scenes too. I haven’t seen it in a few years, but it definitely holds up. They shouldn’t have bothered any the sequel though.
Yah I saw the sequel in the Wikipedia page and it just seemed so wrong after the way the film ended
Just a Tommy Lee Jones cash grab. I would recommend avoiding it.
I enjoyed the sequel. Partly because it’s set in NYC.
Tommy Lee Jones is so entertaining in this!
I love how when they’re arresting the other escaped convict, the girlfriend is just screaming and Tommy lee Jones just casually goes, “shut up!”
My favorite is when he’s talking to the guard about finding the leg irons with no legs.
I think that’s one of the strongest parts of the film is the realistic scale with the marshals. It was very clear that they knew what they were doing and did it well. Kemble only got by barely and used his brain
Not only is this movie good, the Leslie Nielsen parody Wrongfully Accused is also good.
I have so many questions and need to watch this
One of my favorite movies! US Marshals isn’t a half bad sequel
One of my all time favorites. The train scene and waterfall jump always stuck out in my mind.
That was an amazing opening sequence / first act, it flew by but felt like an entire movie within itself
The movie is really good, and the characters are relatable. Solid action movie.
I first saw this in the mid 90s when I was way too young to browse my brothers VHS tapes that he had accumulated over a few years of taping every movie tuesday. Somehow, the three that I really remember and loved were all Harrison Ford movies:
- The Fugitive
- Patriot Games
- Blade Runner
I had only ever seen Ford in blade runner, Indy, and Star Wars so this was a great change of pace
A+ movie. Also makes me wish I could find the early 2000s TV series. It’s probably not worth revisiting, but I’d still like to try.

That’s insane. I watched it last night too! I have it in my library so this is just a strange coincidence. It was even more entertaining than I remembered.
Hey great minds think a like when it comes to movies!
