synopsis
Jones reprises his Oscar-nominated role as no-bull lawman Sam Gerard in "The Fugitive"; this time, his lamster is a former Secret Service agent accused--perhaps wrongfully--of the cold-blooded murder of two of his unit members. As the chase unfolds, Gerard becomes more and more fascinated by his highly trained and intelligent quarry--and more convinced of his innocence.

Sam Gerard: US Marshals, are you in here alone? Are you in here alone?
Elderly Man: Yes!
Whatever happened to the art of the sequel? OK, I know that, with a few exceptions, sequels have rarely been as good as their predecessors. But at least sequels used to be sequels. These days, you're more likely to get a simple, pale remake of the original. Look at Home Alone 3, Blues Brothers 2000, or Scream 2 for a few recent examples. Or even more currently, look at U.S. Marshals.
