If you are not yet a converted tubi, you will probably be soon. Subscription streamers continue to increase their costs only to present you anyway from the riveted advertising media, and it is if the media you are looking for are even on these services. It is in a way ridiculous of the number of subscriptions that I have, and yet it seems that each time I am looking for a film years ago, I am faced with a choice between rental or purchase. So, if we are always told to spend more money for what we want to watch, whatever the number of services we are already paying, the most logical answer would be to subscribe to one or two streamers that you use reliably and accept that the “Buy or Rent” screen will be an inevitable part of your future.

But paid streamers are not the only option. Enter: Tubi. The free streaming platform, which was Bought by Fox Corporation in 2020In fact has the largest content library in all streamers, including Netflix, and has 97 million monthly active users. Moreover, Tubi has actually really great horror movies And, in 2024, Hosted “The Batman” and several other DC films. That is to say that this free streamer is not the vortex of the “content” of Bargain Bin that you are waiting for, and is well worth your time if you are tired of paying subscription fees perpetually increasing elsewhere.

Unfortunately, however, the most watched graph of the platform is not much better than the paid services in terms of quality. The rotten features frequently find their way up of the ranking on Tubi, and this week, it’s Tommy Lee Jones and Robert Downey Jr. with “US Marshals”. That being said, this 1998 criminal thriller is not as bad as his rotten score would make you believe.

While Tubi houses surprisingly formidable movies and television shows, in a catalog this vast, there are also a lot of nonsense, a large part of which seems to rise to the surface that you cannot hope for. For example, Jennifer Garner’s criminal thriller flop and the “blonde atomic” scam “Peppermint” recently resumed Tubi graphics And, shortly after, the science fiction superhero from Sylvester Stallone came out “Samaritan” He also turned out to be a tube. However, neither of the two films could even get closer to a rotten score, and Tommy Lee Jones and the criminal thriller by Robert Downey Jr. “US Marshals” failed to put himself on the right side of the Tomatometer. However, it is not as appalling to see the film on the most watched graph of Tubi.

According to Streaming Assembly Tracker Flixpatrol“US Marshals” is currently number one on free streamer. The film struck Tubi on April 1, 2025 and had made its way in the charts in 10th position on April 7. A day later, he went to number three before taking first place on April 9. Not a bad race for a thriller of almost 30 years who, let’s face it, is neither Jones nor Downey Jr. However, “US Marshals” is also far from the worst pair efforts and can even be good enough to justify a watch if you have not yet ventured in Tubi.

“US Marshals” was actually a 1993 sequel “The Fugitive”, the rare action film to be nominated for an Oscar of the best image. This seminal action thriller of the 90s remains appreciated today, but its follow -up has not completely struck the heights as a predecessor. Instead of the director “The Fugitive” Andrew Davis, the continuation was directed by Stuart Baird, whose only other director’s credits are “Executive Decision” (1996) and “Star Trek: Nemesis” (2002). “US Marshals” also did not present Harrison Ford, who played Dr. Richard Kimble in the first film. Instead, he followed Sam Gerard, the deputy marshal of the United States of Tommy Lee Jones, while he was going to hunt another fugitive in the form of Mark Sheridan of Wesley Snipes. Gerard is helped in his mission by the special agent of Robert Downey Jr., John Royce, the pair pursuing tirelessly the prisoner of Snipes escaped despite launcher doubts about his guilt.

While “the fugitive” was acclaimed by criticism and made $ 353 million At the world box office with a budget of $ 44 million, the continuation unfortunately only made this fraction of this, with a global total of only $ 57 million with a budget of $ 60 million. Critics were not as impressed by “We the marshals” as in the first film either. The film currently has a 30% note on Rotten tomatoesMost of the examiners denounced the absence of a decent conspiracy to justify the prospect of bringing the Marshal of Jones for a second outing. However, the action was not too bad, and it is forced to go back and watch a young Downey Jr. Play on the implacable wing of his co-star. As such, you could do much worse than the “US Marshals” streaming on Tubi – maybe streaming This film Jason Statham / Jennifer Lopez Heistinstead.
