U.S. Marshals Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) is forced to tag along on a prisoner transport plane after his latest take-down causes some PR problems. On the plane is a prisoner with many aliases (Wesley Snipes) who was picked up after a car accident. On the plane, somebody tries to kill him only to damage the plane forcing it to crash. He escapes and now Gerard is coming after him. Special Agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr.) is forced on Gerard's team.
It's a sequel to the great 1993 'The Fugitive'. Tommy Lee Jones' Gerald returns as well as much of his team. They do a good job, but it is nothing more than a lot of TV cop teams nowadays. The movie deeply misses Harrison Ford. Wesley Snipes is a cold super agent and the franchise is completely changed. The plane crash seems derivative as if the movie makers decided that the train crash should be improved upon. The super agent spy stuff seems incongruous to the franchise. Everything is bigger to distract from the less than compelling story. At least, everything is done well and the movie is watchable.
