My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
No a bad film. It succeeds due in large part to the great cast and it's a blast spending more time with the characters we got to love in THE FUGITIVE (1993). While there's nothing all that special about the movie, the cast does a fine job, Goldmsith's got a pulse-pounding score, the action is good (and there's a lot of it) and the pacing is pretty damn brisk. And there's some nice deception going on that pays off a bit in the end. It's been ages since I saw THE FUGITIVE and I definitely like it better than this follow-up (thanks to Jones and Ford) but for a cash grab, this is worth a watch and it was handled much better than you'd think even though this plot has long since been a cliche that's been done to pieces in the past twenty years. But if it's good, it's good and who gives a rat's ass, right? The Warner Bros. DVD has a good anamorphic widescreen image and it's got a crapload of extras.
