An entertaining thriller. Nothing special, but Eastwood and Malkovich are both very good, and good together.

Although it was a stereo typical start up it was delivered well and I found it quite enjoyable.

It's always nice to see malkovich getting recognition, but his oscar nominated performance is overshadowed by the fine, fine work of Clint Eastwood. He is an often underestimated actor and this is some of his finest work. Jeff Maguire's fine screenplay combined with the two lead performances make what could have been a run of the mill thriller something better.

Standard "plot to assassinate government leader" stuff here, but a great performance by Malkovich (as expected).

Malkovich was fantastic in capturing the dark, sociopathic nature of the would-be presidential assassin, and Eastwood was also good in the way we know him for. But ultimately the plot had too many holes that both of these could not fill. Ir's basically another forgettable assassination movie. They're all predictable arent they?

Not particularly memorable film but it does have a great cast. It's just that the characters are rather drab and the plot is not all that convincing. Worth a watch just to see Malkovich and Eastwood in a film together.

Pulse-pounding action from the very beginning. I know it's a cheap thrill, but I think it could be Malkovich's defining role and Clint Eastwood's final "Stud" role before he became an old-timer.

Clint Eastwood in his usual weary and grumpy persona. Malkovich is a great villain and the real star of the film. However, his character could have been much more, if only writers would have dared to make his motivations morally ambiguous. Although the score is done by Morricone it doesn't stand out. Decent thriller, that could have been much more. Loved the last scene.

Clint Eastwood cusses a lot and finally saves the day.

Liked the action and suspense, the love story could've been left out.
