'In the Line of Fire' stars Clint Eastwood as a veteran secret service agent, still haunted by his failure to save JFK at Dallas, trying to save another president from a willy assassin (John Malkovich on full Malkovich mode). It's what you want in a thriller, especially from this time, and just a little smarter then it absolutely had to be. Dylan McDermott, Rene Russo, and Fred Thompson have supporting parts. One of the things that I enjoyed about this movie is just how mediocre it's president is, he's losing a reelection fight throughout and is seemingly oblivious to the threats on his life and the hard work of those protecting him, still he's the president and respect for the office over the man is a resonate theme here. ***
