In the Line of Fire (Special Edition)
starring Clint Eastwood, John
Malkovich, Rene Russo, Dylan
McDermott, Gary Cole
A Must Have For Any Eastwood Fan
This smart, tautly directed thriller from Wolfgang Petersen is about the cat-
and-mouse games between a Secret Service agent named Horrigan (Clint
Eastwood) and the brilliant, psychopathic assassin (John Malkovich) whos
itching to get the President in his cross hairs. The back-story--Horrigan is
haunted by his inability to prevent John Kennedys assassination
(Eastwood is computer-generated into archival footage)--is more than a
little hokey, but the plotting itself is smartly, even ingeniously, constructed.
Petersen manages a viselike grip on the tension and Eastwood even gets
to deliver an ever-more-timely lecture on the diminished nature of the office
of President. Eastwoods as gruff and as infuriating to the by-the-book
Powers That Be as ever, and Malkovich oozes delightful menace. Renee

Russo capably costars as a colleague with whom Horrigan gets friendly. --

Personal Review: In the Line of Fire (Special Edition) starring
Clint Eastwood, John Malkovich, Rene Russo, Dylan McDermott,
Gary Cole
A Must Have For Any Eastwood Fan
Great extras with commentary from Rene Russo, John Malkovich, and
Clint of course and interesting footage of real Secret Service agants
The story of course is well known by this time to any Eastwood fan. This is
one of Eastwood's best: a pretty good action thriller, lots of chases and
shootouts but all connected inteligently so as not to insult the viewer. If
you're an Eastwood fan you probably already have this or have seen it, so
I won't waste a lot of time and energy describing the plot to you. Eastwood
has put out a few duds in his time but this isn't one of them - this is well
worth the money and I think you'll enjoy it.
