Review of U.S. Marshals (1998) by Danielle S — 09 May 2008
When a prisoner transport plane carrying Deputy Sam Gerard as an escort crashes, one prisoner, Mark Sheridan helps him rescue some trapped prisoners and then escapes himself. Gerard and his crack team of U.
S. Marshals (Joe Pantoliano, Daniel Roebuck, Tom Wood, LaTanya Richardson, and Kate Nelligan) start their pursuit, but the simple fugitive situation soon gets more complicated when Gerard learns that Sheridan is no mere criminal and the story behind his incrimination becomes more and more suspicious.
At the same time, Mark Sheridan is out to find out the truth himself while keeping one step ahead of Gerard. Robert Downey Jr., who has so far been little more than a hindrance in the pursuit, apparently in the movie only to provide a little edge to Jones' leadership role.
Tommy Lee Jones almost always makes a movie better with his appearance, and "U.S. Marshals" is no exception. His role is about the same as in "The Fugitive". If you liked that one, you'll definitely enjoy "U.
S. Marshals".
