i will be honest and i finally check this movie not because of the star though they be reasonably watchable and compelling and particularly the three lead or even the compelling story of a breach in the presidential secret service ( something and i have be inform through the dvd extra of this show and have yet to ever happen . assume that true and that remarkable . ) . i get it because it be direct and have a choice cameo by none other than detective meldrick lewis . well and okay and clark johnson and one of my faves from homicide representlife on the street and a veteran ( mostly ) tv director . i would say that he do about as good a he can with a project that be watchable but pretty average and despite the possibility . veteran and ace secret agent pete garrison ( michael douglas ) have to find out both who be blackmail him and who kill his friend and target and blow up an air force one chopper and be gun for the prez . ( david rasche . anyone remember sledgehammer . ) . his affair with the first lady ( kim basinger and clearly one of the hotter first ladies we have ever have and fictional or real ) be certainly not help his standing . he get to both ferret out the real mole in the service and avoid the hound dog like hunting of his former best friend and fellow agent and chief ( kiefer sutherland and almost still completely in 24 mode ) . throw in some other pivotal service agent ( martin donovan and the foxy and somewhat hard to buy a the gig eva longorria ) and shady foreign character and you have a fairly standard political thriller that doesn not aim as high a it purport and reach the desire and if underwhelming and result . the summary line be about the best way to describe how this show play out without give spoiler . the dvd extra to me seem more insightful and interesting than the movie and though the film itself be entertain enough to keep most ( myself include ) interested .
