Tommy Lee Jones once again plays a socially awkward grump hot on the heels of the one-note & slippery Wesley Snipes in this sequel to the Fugitive. Is it customary for Tommy Lee Jones to always behave like a who is being forced to smile for the camera? The whole ‘man on the run who is wrongly accused’ shtick falls within the repetitive tropes of the '90s where an allegedly bad man with good intent shows better cause. Robert Downey Jr. joins the tail crew as a snooty recruit with little else to do other than run & look irritated with everyone around him while pulling off his best pre-Tony Stark before he was Tony Stark attitude. The movie has some pretty riveting chase sequences that make excellent use of its production budget. Apart from that & the serviceable, shady government people with shadier government secrets, we’re reminded of a format that has now been perfected by the Mission Impossible & Bourne movies. Something is learned, someone gets burned while fate is turned in many a close hit & near miss.
