Wolff rating: GOOD
Plot summary: Burnout Secret Serviceman gets phone calls from man who wants to kill the President; they begin and end a battle of wits and words.
Biased, pithy comments: This movie is just tons of fun, but its themes are hazy, the characters' motivations vague, and the female lead's role totally pointless. Still, Eastwood is his squinting self and Malkovitch is scary enough that the film is tense, exciting, and interesting.
