A crashing action movie that director Baird put more effort into than the main drama.
The movie ``The U.S. Marshals'' is characterized by a structure that expands on the development of the previous work.
For example, the flashy crash action involving a prisoner transport plane is clearly a development of the previous work's prisoner transport plane crash. How to express these unprecedented scenes that raise the bar for difficulty several levels is extremely important, and in this regard, the movie `` Executive Decision '' (1996), which depicts the battle between a hijacker and special forces, is extremely important. Directed by Stuart Baird, the film is a high-voltage masterpiece that everyone is excited about.
Looking back on Baird's career, it appears that he worked as an editor before making his directorial debut with ``The Executive''. Early in his career, he worked on `` Superman '' (1978), which was famous for its flight scenes and helicopter crash landing scenes, and at the end of the 1980s, he also worked on `` Die Hard 2 '' (1990), which ushered in a new era of aviation action. Names are listed. Therefore, it can be said that he is an expert who knows more about how to appeal to this genre than anyone else.

However, since the climactic impact that director Baird was so passionate about comes in the early stages, some say that for first-time viewers, it feels like the remaining two-thirds of the film is slowing down. In fact, perhaps it is only when we watch it for the second or third time that we can calmly accept the greatness of this scene. By the way, after director Baird made one more film in later years, he quickly returned to being an editor (`` Casino Royale '' (2006), `` Skyfall '' (12), etc.). Did he get tired of being a director? Or have you done everything you wanted to do?
Now is the time to look back on the solitary existence of Robert Downey Jr.
