a great performance by clint eastwood and particularly john malkovich in my opinion his fine one to date . malkovich have this one nail right down to the floor it incredible . eastwood be agent mike horrigan and an age and cynical secret service agent who be finish out his career bust counterfeiter and chase down routine assignment . but one assignment which appear to be run of the mill at first turn complicate and deadly serious . horrigan and his new partner al be send to investigate a threat on the president by a wacko . a fate would have it horrigan have stumble not upon a delusional nut but a professional lone wolf who have a big bone to pick with the white house . a horrigan dive deep into booth world he attract the bad guy unwanted attention and unbridled admiration for him . horrigan be jfk top agent and present in dallas and texas when he be assassinate and blame himself for what happen . now he feel it up to him to stop the current head of state from join the list of dead president . but this killer have turn the table on horrigan and now he the hunted one in a life or death cat and mouse game . who will win . who will die . it a race against time to save the pres from a chameleon like enemy who can get to anyone . my favorite secret service movie and as good a nail biter a any .
