Men only hotels are to keep prostitution down. They’re usually super cheap, have a communal bathroom and are for men who are down and out and run by a religious organization who’s trying to reduce homelessness.

Angela D. Mitchell

Just some fun trivia: Julianne Moore had a bigger part (she was a potential romantic interest) but it was mostly cut out when it was decided audiences would dislike Kimball moving on from his wife (even a year later). Moore had just broken through in The Hand that Rocks the Cradle and some big critical hits (Short Cuts and Vanya on 42nd Street) so they promoted her involvement in the film anyway. I do think it's funny she still has fourth billing and she is in maybe 90 seconds of the movie, tops. The movie was written by Jeb Stuart & David Twohy. Stuart went on to write several other movies including Die Hard and Twohy wrote Pitch Black and the Riddick movies, The Arrival (a smart little sci-fi sleeper from 1997), G.I. Jane, and notorious bomb Waterworld (which I've never actually seen). Director Andrew Davis has directed some other fun movies -- A Perfect Murder and Holes being worth a watch.

Ow yessssss.....I hoped for this one. Love this movie. Seen it so many times already. Great performances from Ford and Jones and a small part from our own Dutch Krabbé... ;-)

Githerax

Simone, you complained about the bus guard that started shooting, but what you don't understand is that he's a people person! He's good with people! Or did you watch this before Office Space? Also, George, 'is this the most damage caused by a toothbrush?' You haven't seen John Wick. I once saw him kill six men in a locker room...with a toothbrush. A goddam toothbrush.

Githerax

Also, George, 'I want to watch more movies about people pretending to be other people'. Let me introduce you to 'The Pretender' (1996) TV series.

Jack Urmson

I know what I’m watching tonight after work. 🙏👍

In the U.S., law enforcment is ranked from the Federal, the highest, down to the State, then to the lowest level, the local police. That's why Tommy Lee Jones was able to take over the investigation from the local sheriff with the "Well, shit sheriff..." line. Tommy Lee Jones had Federal authority as a US Marshal.

Erwin Quiachon

No, shit... Harrison Ford was filming a movie in my neighborhood in downtown Portland a few years ago. I could see the film crew but never did see Ford. If I did see him, I would have definitely said, "Holy shit that's Harrison Ford...".

Githerax

Also also, re: the 'Men only' hotels, some old hotels have a communal bathroom on each floor, and it's so that the men can have room on the bathroom counter for their stuff. Zing!

Joel

The U.S. Marshal's Service is an agency of the US Department of Justice whose responsibilities are primarily what you've seen here: the apprehension of fugitives from the justice system, mostly prison escapees. They are not involved in criminal investigations except for what they might deem necessary to find and capture their current target.

Sisyphus

Another movie with the same type of storylines George described is "National Treasure". Different tone and not as great as this, but pretty sure both of you would enjoy it.

Marko T.

Great movie. Tommy Lee Jones won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role in this. He is good but I'm not sure if I would have given an Oscar for it.

The Guy on the Couch

fun fact: the guy who plays one of the crappy Chicago PD detectives is also one of the two corrupt cops in "The Dark Knight" who give up Dent and Rachel to the Maroni.

The Guy on the Couch

Agreed, especially since that same year John Malkovich was up for the same award for his role in the Clint Eastwood movie "In the Line of Fire". I felt Malkovich was so much better in his role than TLJ was, but both performances were great

“What a great friend!” “Everyone needs a friend like that!” “Be a friend like that!” 😬😬😬

Torsten Maekler

Was in Loma Lina in December 2019 for a film job with Dr. Diehl - though we only landed and departed at LAX. Didn't get to see much of the City at that time. Though happy, that we weren't there some month later when Covid hit. Stranding there would have been annoying... . And since I am from Germany, I like it a tad warmer than you guys. 16°C upwards is fine :-)

Rob Parry

This was actually based on the 1960's TV show The Fugitive which lasted 4 seasons. The final episode is still listed as one of the most watched TV show episodes of all time. I also mentioned in the YouTube comments section that you might want to also check out Witness 1985 with Harrison Ford and The Usual Suspects 1995 if you are looking for more crime drama thriller movies.

Disciple_of_M

There is a semi-sequel to this called US Marshals where Tommy Lee Jones plays the same character.

Marko T.

I hope you react to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Would be great to hear your opinions about. The fifth movie is coming next year.

Githerax

Or we could just watch them sniff an old, overflowing kitchen garbage bag. Be better than enduring Crystal Skull.

Logan Kerlee

I'm finishing a movie right now, but as soon as it wraps up I'll be watching this reaction. Movie I'm watching now is the World War 2 movie, Fury. It is pretty dark. Good movie, I think, but dark. It's a movie that's about World War 2 though, so it's hard for it to be anything else.

Logan Kerlee

lmao, my favorite temperature is prolly mid 50s with some rain and wind.

Logan Kerlee

Oh, I've totally seen this before, as well. I watched this as a youngster for the first time. I think that I was in the second grade when I first watched this. It was pretty shocking for me at that age.. this is going to be fun. :)

Alec S

This is a movie made in 1993, Julianne Moore was practically unknown back then, she only became quite prominent in late 90's

David Crabtree

There's actually a sequel to this movie, "U.S. Marshalls" from 1998, with Tommy Lee Jones and his whole team, but also starring Wesley Snipes and Robert Downey Jr. I don't think it's as good as this one, and it follows the same beats, but it's quite entertaining and worth a watch!

Persnickity

Catch me if you can is a very good movie. Also stars Leonardo DiCaprio. Another good movie that is kind of like what ya'll are talking is Knives Out. Amazing cast for a "who done it" film

Torsten Maekler

Yes, 'Catch me if you can' definitely has similar vibes. You should add that to your list. It is well worth your time. What is already on your list is 'Mission Impossible'. There are other elements involved, but you are going to get something in the line of this movie as well. Another one into this direction is 'Sneakers' with Robert Redford and Dan Akroyd from 1992. Also how about 'The Departed' with Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon from 2006. More a police story, but definitely with some levels of finding out who is who :-) An early film from Tommy Lee Jones is 'Blown Away' from 1994, where he tries to find out who bombed his partner to death...

P S

Similar movie in a disguise and action way is "FX". All I will say, the main character is a movie fx specialist. It was a surprise hit and even had a sequel.

Githerax

Simone, the "good friend" Jeroen Krabbe is also in 'An Ideal Husband' (1999, Romance/Comedy) which if you haven't seen it yet, you haven't seen one of your all-time favorite movies. So I dunno what you can do about that. Watch it, I guess.

Grumples

Sykes, the one armed man, is played by Andreas Katsulas who will forever be immortalized as G'Kar from Babylon 5. I hope someday you gets get to that series though it is an older series but a pivotal one for future TV series for how ambitious it was.

Monica Alarcon

I live in a hot place... it's 42 celsius right now so... about 25 is my ideal temperature.. 10 degrees is like sweater weather for me...

Torstein Skurve

Have you guys considered doing some music biopics? (If yes please do walk the line❤️)

Sisyphus

Catch me if you can was a very good movie worth reacting to. Not the same as this, but a good movie. Probably would wind up watching it eventually.

Michael Lynch

This is a really great movie for sure. However my favorite movie is Tommy Lee Jones chasing the bad guy is called Hunted. It's with benicio del Toro and it is freaking excellent.

Alan Kobb

You're completely wrong. The Federal authorities have no authority over state or local police. In general, local authorities usually cooperate with federal authorities, but there is no requirement that they do so. A Marshal does not have the power to order a sheriff to do anything. (That being said, when the Marshal is Tommy Lee Jones, everyone listens and obeys...) Actually, it is very unusual that the US Marshals were involved at all. Kimball was convicted under state law, and remanded to a state penitentary on a state bus. If he had committed a federal crime, then the Marshals would absolutely have been involved, but generally speaking for a Federal prisoner they would not have even shown up at the scene of the crash unless the state had asked them to assist, or if he had escaped over state lines, and they would have no power to overrule anybody otherwise. https://www.fbi.gov/about/faqs/if-a-crime-is-committed-that-is-a-violation-of-local-state-and-federal-laws-does-the-fbi-take-over-the-investigation

Andrew

George you asked for a specific movie recommendation during this reaction,I can't say much more on that without creating spoilers But "Face/Off (1997)" staring John Travolta, Nicolas Cage perfectly fits the bill,it is a brilliantly fun movie that would make for an exceptional reaction You can confirm this opinion with Chris and or put it on a poll sometime to prove it's popularity

Torchwood79

George wants a movie with disguises… I think a fun 90’s movie that fits the bill is The Saint from 1997 with Val Kilmer.

Sean Novack

Means: He was there and there was no sign of anybody else or any forced entry Motive: Money. People have been killed for very very little Opportunity: He was there and there was no evidence of anybody else. It was his gun, his prints were on the weapon and nobody else's were. A "character witness" means nothing against that. A US Marshal has specific duties that have already been explained above, but the key is that they are a Federal Sworn Officer with jurisdiction all over the country This film was highly acclaimed when it came out. It was nominated for Best Picture, Best Original Score, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing, and Tommy Lee Jones won for Best Supporting Actor. There are several "Men Only" houses and shelters around the Midwest. Security can't afford the security and liability of having women overnight. Devlin McGregor was SELLING 14.6 BILLION in adjusted dollars annually, the company would be worth a hell of a lot more than 44 Billion if sold.

Jack Urmson

Well, disguises, cat & mouse dynamics, and detective elements are all part of the Mission: Impossible franchise. Plus loads of action that get better with each chapter. Looking forward to viewing those again. 😃😃🤩🤩

PaulChristopher

There is a movie about an investigative reporter trying to uncover a drug ring. The reporter puts on a lot of names and disguises. It's silly comedy, but also a good crime investigation film. It's called Fletch.

Githerax

Yeah, Twitter only made $5 billion in total revenue last year, it's not worth $44 billion- unless Elon thinks Twitter can be use to influence more money for himself. Which it can. Which it shouldn't.

Tx28

Also, if you want detestivesque/investigative vibes with solid acting and impacful plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, totally check out 'The Whistleblower' (2010), directed by Larysa Kondracki...! :D

RavenLunatic

Great to see others appreciate this film so much. This one means a lot to me personally, My dad was a doctor in Chicago. I first saw this film shortly after moving to CA when my father passed away. I still think of Chicago as my home (sad to see what it is now), and this movie brings the nostalgia more than any other I've seen.

Jim Johnson

You guys should definitely do Catch Me If You Can. It’s so great.

Chris Lüders

Great movie and very nice reation. To give you some suggestions, I think some very good movies investigation / courtroom movies are - 12 Angry Men (1957) - Witness (1985) - A Few Good Men (1989) - The Firm (1993) - Heat (1995) - No Way out (1987) - The Game (1997) - The Usual Suspects (1995) - Lucky Number Slevin (2006) - In the Heat of the Night (1967) - All the President's Men (1976) - Ronin (1998) Other movies have already been recommended, so I skipped them, but in my opinion every of these movies is worth watching. 😉 Oh and I nearly forgot, my ideal temperature is 15-25 °C, perfect for a nice bike ride around here, e.g. to the Heidelberg Castle. 😊

RavenLunatic

No Way Out would certainly be a great one! Lucky Number Slevin would also be fun.

Tx28

Also Red Eye (2005), directed by the one and only Wes Craven. With Rachel McAdams and Cillian Murphy. :)

AC10

George: "Is this the most damage ever done with one toothbrush?...." I like your style. Simone: "What are they all eating...?" Bojangles biscuits would be my best guess. The exact same yellow paper wrapper... Ummmmm Bojangles bacon egg and cheese biscuit is my favorite.... (I would work overtime for that)

Sito

Should follow up this movie with U.S. Marshall.

TuvixLogic

80* Fahrenheit is comfortable with me yet I live in Fl. SE/US And Harrison Ford played a bad guy in "What Lies Beneath"

Brian Hakala

The jackal with Bruce Willis and Richard Gere is a good one for disguises and cat and mouse crime story. Hope you watch us Marshalls as well!

Marko T.

Just finished watching this. Great reaction. My only complaint about this movie is the ending. I recommend Catch Me If You Can too. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio and its directed by Steven Spielberg.

Marko T.

Two of the detectives are played by L. Scott Caldwell and Daniel Roebuck. They were Rose and Arzt in Lost.

Justin Wolford

Idk if you know this or not but there is a sequel to this called U.S. Marshalls were Tommy Lee Jones and his crew chase down escaped convict wesley snipes.

AC10

Yes PLEASE George make a super cut of Simone's worst fears. We need this.

Ian O'Donnell

Hi, past Simone and George! Just adding my voice to everyone else - you should definitely watch Catch Me If You Can!

droodly

Boo George! I'm now doubting your scrubs creds! There was an episode that totally acknowledged janitors role in this movie!
