Return to 1998 SUMMER Index
This is the sequal to The Fugitive. Instead of a bus crash it's a plane crash brought about in the same way as the first film and we're led to believe that Mark is really a criminal.
At the scene of the plane crash the local county police are inadequately experienced in these matters and comically the sergeant tries to take command. So Gerard takes over and at this point we are introduced to the diplomatic agents (Downy junior) a wise guy know-it-all.
From this moment on the chase is on. Will Sheriden succeed in finding the truth about who set him up before he's caught or not? What are the red herrings and who's telling the truth? All I can say is Agatha Christie is less predictable (I'm an Agatha Christie fan) and I mean that in the nicest way!
This film is not so much a sequel as a remake, which in our opinion should have been entitled The Fugitive 2, Deja-Vu.
In my view, best line of the film was uttered by Snipes at the end of the film, "I'm going back to bed now."
…sums it up perfectly! We gave it a humble 5/10
