U.S. Marshals, the sequel Robert Downey Jr<\/a> called “the worst action movie of all time”, is now streaming for free in the UK.<\/p>\n

Released in 1998 U.S Marshals follows a team of Marshals assigned to take down a violent killer who has been accused of double-murder. <\/p>\n

In the film, which co-starred Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes, Downey Jr plays a villainous mole within the US police force named John Royce. <\/p>\n

A sequel to the 1993 movie The Fugitive<\/a>, which starred Harrison Ford<\/a>, U.S. Marshals is now available to stream for free on the ITV streaming service<\/a> ITVX. <\/p>\n

Previously speaking about the movie in Ben Falk’s biography of Downey Jr The Fall and Rise of the Comeback Kid, the MCU<\/a> star said he would “rather wake up in jail for a TB test than have to wake up another morning knowing I\u2019m going to the set of U.S. Marshals” (via Far Out<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Downey Jr slammed the film as “possibly the worst action movie of all time” before adding: “You\u2019ve had a traumatic year… what do you think would be really healing for you? How about like 12 weeks of running around as Johnny Handgun?<\/p>\n

“I think that if you talk to a spirit guide, they would say, ‘That\u2019ll kill you.’ \u2026 I thought maybe there was something I was missing, and what I really needed to do was to be in one of those films that I love taking my kid to. It would end up being really depressing.”<\/p>\n

Previously speaking in an interview with AV Club<\/a>, Downey Jr said of the film: “I don\u2019t remember anything about U.S. Marshals except that we were running around and pretending like we could ever hold a candle to The Fugitive. <\/p>\n

“I just remember like, ‘Strap on your bulletproof vest, you\u2019re in the bayou!’ What the f**k what? Where\u2019s the story?”<\/p>\n
