Movie Review: U.S. Marshals

Tuesday, January 26, 2010
Synopsis: U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard and his street-smart deputies pursue Sheridan, a new fugitive who is accused of two New York assassinations. Aiding Gerard is a cocky young government operative who proves to be a match for Gerard's tactical and intellectual strengths.

Starring: Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, Robert Downey Jr., Joe Pantoliano, Daniel Roebuck
Directed by: Stuart Baird, Gary Davis
U.S. Rating: PG-13

I should state that this film is worth to watch for Tommy Lee Jones' lead performance. Even though it offers such an amazing cast, the script was simply ok. It was able to deliver some action and suspense, but I couldn't feel that special chemistry among the lead characters (Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes & Robert Downey Jr).

I could say that it is a variant of the film The Fugitive. Mark Sheridan (Wesley Snipes) is a special agent who's been framed in a confusing incident, accused of killing two asian diplomatic members. After facing an accident, Mark Sheridan is able to escape and have the chance to find, identify and caught the responsibles of the two homicides. On the other hand, Chief Deputy Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), responsible for Mark Sheridan's custody does whatever it takes to caught him and put him in jail. He gets federal assistance with the company of agent John Royce (Robert Downey Jr) who is involved in the confusing incident, trying to get to Mark before Marshal Gerard does and, if possible... kill Mark.

As said, the film is worth to watch due to Tommy Lee Jones performance. It can be highly considered for an action movie on a quiet weekend at home.

What did I like from this movie?

1. Great cast involved. The cast saved the day, since the plot didn't offer much to the audience

What did I dislike from this movie?

1. I didn't feel that chemistry needed among the lead roles. That might be the reason that Tommy Lee Jones darkened the rest of the cast involved in this film

I would rate this movie with a 3/5
