This is not so much a belated sequel to The Fugitive as a rehash, with Tommy Lee Jones reprising his Oscar-winning role as US Marshal Samuel Gerard. In place of Harrison Ford we have Wesley Snipes, and in place of a murdered wife we have a corkscrew plot about the CIA. Former editor Stuart Baird keeps the action rolling along in a rather monotonous manner and characterisation is limited to the odd one-liner before the next big bang. It wasn't the hit everyone clearly expected, but die-hard fans of mindless action won't be bored.

A worthy watch
Tommy Lee Jones reprises his role of Sam Gerard from The Fugitive, to chase the framed yet innocent Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes). Robert Downey Jr. puts in a good performance as S.A. John Royce, a man who has a hidden agenda.
Good performances all round - although I thought it wasn't as pacey as the first, Jones does a first rate job with ample support from Joe Pantoliano, Daniel Roebuck and Kate Nelligan to name but a few.
Some eye catching stunts and action sequences really hike the tension up. Keeps you interested until the end - a quite surprising end at that. -
