"Memoirs of an Invisable Man"....Chevy Chase's BEST film performance and one of John Carpenter's best films, but nobody cared when it came out, so, no one cares, now. It's nice that they gave us some extra features, for a change, considering it's not considered a successful film for anyone here.
"US Marshals"...The beginning is, more that a little confusing, but this turns into a verrrrrrrry good action film, that has the emphasis on the acting; you just have to have LOTS of faith, that it will turn into something good. There are strong acting performances all around, especially Tommy Lee Jones and Wesley Snipes, upon whose shoulders, the screenwriters place the ENTIRE STORY.
Very strangely, we don't know the "why" of our story, until almost half-way into the film; I've never seen filmmakers take this much of chance before. But it works, and, of course, the verrrrrrrrry high amount, of hard driving action, literally, "drives" this film forward, too.
Snipes proves that less is more, with a very terse, straight forward, no nonsense, acting performance. Joe "the hardest working man in show business" Pantolino, is also here, rounding out the cast, and making it work.
