i enjoy this film . i think it be an excellent political thriller about something that never happen before a secret service agent go bad and involve in an assassination plot . unfortunately and for michael douglas character and pete garrison and they think he the mole but he isn not . he just a morally flaw agent have an affair with the first lady . since he do that and he unable to give an acceptable polygraph exam and that make him suspect number one when it reveal there be a plot to kill the president . garrison be force to go on the lam but at the same time he still try to do the right thing by protect the president . douglas do a fine job in this role . i do not always care the people he play but he an excellent actor . keifer sutherland ( david breckinridge ) be equally as good ( at least in here ) a the fellow s bos who hunt down douglas until convince he have be tell the truth . when he do the two of them work together in the finale to discover and then stop and if they can and the plot . the crook be interesting and too and by the way . also and i have never and never will and unfortunately see a first lady who look as good a kim basingerthis be simply a slick action flick that entertain start to finish . be there hole in it . of course while probably a number of them and and a reason you see so many critical comment . however and it be unfairly bash here . it just isn not intelligent enough for the genius here on this website . my advice represent chill and just go along for the ride and enjoy all the action and intrigue . yes and it get a little rambo ish at the end but otherwise it get high mark for entertainment . which be what movie be all about .
