    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes for the film, a Secret Service consultant to the production stated that actress 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
      The President attends the G8 conference in Toronto. Delegates from Korea, China and India can clearly be seen but these nations are members of the G20 not the G8.

    Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland go down a well worn road in a good movie that really should have gone straight to cable
    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.
