Did You Know?
Trivia:
In the behind-the-scenes featurette, the Secret Service consultant for the movie stated that 'Eva Longoria' far surpassed the other actors in "shooting school". In fact, he remarked that her score would beat about 90% of members of the Secret Service. Longoria mentioned that when she was younger she often accompanied her father to the gun range, so being around and handling guns wasn't new to her.
Goofs:
Errors in geography:
When traveling to the school, the street signs are black and white. DC street signs are green and white.
Quotes: David Breckinridge:
Pete Garrison was my best friend. Until he slept with my wife
User Review
Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland go down a well worn road in a good movie that really should have gone straight to cable
Rating: 6/10
Michael Douglas is a secret service agent framed in a plot to kill the
President of the US. Kiefer Sutherland is the agent on his tail.
Its not a bad movie its just been there done that with form over
content film making. There is no real tension because the actors are in
roles they've played a dozen or so times before (Sutherland in 24 each
week)so you can pretty much walk them through whats happening.Thats the
problem here, its all been done before, better.
The real question is: Do I really need to pay 10 bucks a head to see
whats a essentially a big screen TV movie? I think not. As I said its
not bad, its just not worth running out to the theater to see. Wait for
cable where this movie really belongs.
