Why?

Why did the producers copy basically the same plot, basically the same action (e.g., a crash where the fugitive escapes), and where both fugitives were innocent? It's like a template from "The Fugitive" was laid over the same plot, filled it with different locations and characters, then called it "U. S. Marshals".

I only watch it because I don't have a movie channel, and like to watch a movie while I eat. I don't think I could go through it again. Hey, I got it for like 99 cents, so I can't complain too much.

If they would have made this movie about Tommy Lee Jones and team searching for a real criminal and not another wrongfully accused one it could have made for a great movie.

It definitely could've made the movie better.

That would've been better.

Exactly. The same type of plot was stupid

Absolutely. I was looking forward to Tommy Lee Jones looking for a real fugitive, not another one that was framed.

Are movie producers just out of ideas or what?

This is funny because normally people bash sequels for not being like the originals.

You want to play the game, you'd better know the rules, love.
