A taut thriller with solid work from Clint as a Secret Service agent trying to prevent history from repeating itself
Entertaining watch, some of it is pretty dated now but the ending sequence holds up very well.
Great Clint Eastwood flick. Suspenseful!
Eastwood is an amazing actor and producer and in this movie he shows just how good he was even in the middle part of his career.
I’m guilty of over looking this Eastwood movie, so I finally gave it a chance. I was pleasantly surprised, it was better than I expected.
Character actors galore surround a good Eastwood vs. Malkovich thriller
Great political thriller. Eastwood and Malkovich have a great cat and mouse dynamic. It has aged perfectly and is still effective.
A slow burn but great acting from Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich and their dialogue will keep you interested all the way through!
Overlong story to a well made film otherwise, but could have done with a bit of fine trimming on the drama & punched up the action scenes!
Eastwood and malcovich in a great cat and mouse movie. Keeps you interested throughout the entire production.
