Good: Jones
Pretty good: Snipes, Downey
Indifferent: Most of the rest
Really bad: The wig
If this came out by itself, on its own, it would be seen as a somewhat generic but decent chase/suspense/thriller/whodunit with a pretty good cast and a certain amount of intelligence.
As ‘The Fugitive 2’ it’s a huge disappointment.
So…if you’re gonna compare, don’t bother watching.
Without Harrison Ford, the focus shifts from “THE Fugitive” to “a fugitive”; Wesley Snipes is pretty good but he’s not Ford, and he can’t carry the movie.
The writer or writers probably realize this, which is why this is much less Snipes-centric than ‘The Fugitive’ was Ford-centric.
The addition of Robert Downey Jr helps, the lines are spread out more among Jones’ crew, and it becomes much more about the chase/suspense/thriller/whodunit aspect than the rooting-for-a-likeable-character aspect.
If you like TL Jones’ character and crew, give it a watch. If not, skip it.
