“The U.S. Marshals” Now is the time to review it after more than 20 years, a stomping action movie featuring the straight-laced Jones and the maverick Downey Jr.

Tommy Lee Jones has plenty of carrots and sticks.

If there is any reason for the movie ``The U.S. Marshals'' to be made, it is not that it is a sequel to `` The Fugitive .'' Because no one is looking for ``what happens after'' a story that ends at that moment. If that's the case, there's only one reason why it's being produced. It's all about satisfying the desire that resides in our hearts, ``I want to see more of that character played by Tommy Lee Jones.''

If you think about it, until Tommy Lee Jones won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar, he wasn't the kind of actor who could easily play the lead role. He was often used as a quirky villain character due to his furrowed brow, ruggedness, and straight-lacedness, but as more and more light was shed on the indescribable charm that oozed out in the smallest of moments, he became more and more popular. As his humanity increases, the level of public attention changes dramatically.

This transformation began with films such as " The Silent Battleship " (1992) and "The Fugitive" and reached its final form with " Men in Black " (1997), but "The U.S. Marshals", which was produced around the same time, It can also be said to be a work that is like a bonus stage, packed with all the charm of ``Tommy Lee Jones that we wanted to see''. The image of the so-called ``boss character who scolds his subordinates and pulls them along'' was established around this time.

In particular, at the beginning of the movie, Jones's performance, in which he runs around wearing The Birds costume with a stern face, is such that some fans say, ``This is the biggest highlight!'' Although it can't be denied that he is aiming a little too hard, the extraordinary on-screen performance that could only have been achieved at this stage of his life captivates us with a special destructive power.

A crashing action movie that director Baird put more effort into than the main drama.
