Very nice

Some of the films Gregory Harrison has been in have just been a waste of his talent, but this seems like a very good beginning that might survive a few rounds. President Jonathan Hayes (Greg Harrison) has constant bodyguards around him and his daughter, but still a militia team of terrorists try to kill him at some party, but he is saved by the brave agent Alex McGregor (Mariel Hemingway), but her boss agent Daley (I know I've seen him before. He looks like the guy from an Australian soap opera called Neighbours...Jim Robinson or something)well he isn't pleased about her work or on how she saved the president. When Jess,(Monica Keena) the president's 16 year old daughter is tired of having agents around all the time and with limited chances of acting out her teenage issues he decides to let her go on some outdoor adventure thing with a friend, a few kids and 3 agents including Alex, but she isn't fond of Alex since she thinks Alex likes her widower dad. The terrorists, who tried to kill the president are also ironically in Montana at the same time and they kidnap Jess in order to get their leader back. With the help of Grant (Doug Savant), who is a guide Alex decides to go rescue Jess. Now i really liked this movie especially Doug Savant, he was really good in this. Thank god he left Melrose Place he was getting dragged down there, but this movie and the future sequel to it will no doubt be great.
