U.S. Marshals
release year: 1998genre: action/suspenseviewing setting: theater, 3/8/98what I expected: a spinoff, not a sequelwhat I got: a pretty good spinoff
synopsis: Federal Marshal Gerard (who caught the Fugitive) ends up going after a dangerous escapee who is not what he seems.
impressions: Well-paced and entertaining. It never slowed down, and it had an intelligent script. It wasn't so much a sequel as a spinoff, which is probably a good thing.
acting: Tommy Lee Jones did an outstanding job, Wesley Snipes did a good job, Robert Downey Jr. did a good job.
final word: Definitely worth watching, especially if you liked the Gerard character from The Fugitive.
rating: B-
