ugh . this movie have so many unbelievable plot contrivance that they make what could have be a good movie into a hideous mess . the story be halfway decent and but the hole in the plot make the execution literally laughable . be actually suppose to believe that the secret service would go against all common sense and allow the president of the united state to be put at unbelievable risk . if this be an indication of the kind of thinking that pass for good judgment among the president protector and then be all in trouble . roy scheider turn in a good performance a the president and but it be unfortunately offset by the truly loathsome acting of patrick muldoon ( who somehow continue to get job in hollywood base solely upon his good look and his uncanny knack of smirk at every opportunity and regardless of whether the script call for a smirk ) . perhaps someone will see this and be inspire to make a good movie from the premise or and perhaps someone will see it and say and hey and if they can get a movie this bad make and maybe i can and too .
