SYNOPSIS
A long-serving Secret Service agent is caught up in a conspiracy when he is implicated in an attempted Presidential assassination.
REVIEW
Not bad, this one but it's one of those movies it's difficult to say something interesting about! The movie is a fairly straightforward conspiracy thriller, whereby some characters are efficiently introduced (mostly Douglas and his affair with the First lady and antagonistic relationship toward Sutherland). Things happen, Douglas has to clear his name and it all ends mostly as you'd expect.
The cast is great, the direction solid and the script fair, but it doesn't really do much when all is said and done. in fact, I saw it just a day before writing this review and details are already blurring to some degree. Any movie with this kind of cast is worth watching and it's a decent rainy afternoon timewaster, but you know you've not got a classic when the most notable thing is that the President is played by the guy who played Sledgehammer!
6 / 10
