Why Al? ... Why?? ‘The Package:’ Hackman Packs Back in Black By Brian Banks R ep orter______ So, after a summer filled with whip-snapping her oes, heroes in kid's cos tumes, and kids the size of Legos, the release of The Package, a smart, fast-paced thriller, is a refreshing change. Gene Hackman stars as career military man John Gallagher, who is assigned to deliver a "package" — a court-martialed soldier played by Tommy Lee Jones. When his prisoner escapes, Gallagher realizes that he is entangled in a much bigger incident. Despite the farfetched plot, the acting and pacing of the film make the story ¡ I l watchable — if not some lit what believable. Not since 1987's No Way Out (which, coincidentally, also co- starred Hackman) has a po litical thriller been made n with such attention to intri cate details and clever plot twists. Throughout The Package, a series of seemingly sepa rate incidents take place that may puzzle the movie goer. It all comes together FINISH in the end nicely, and, sur prisingly, quite simply.
