first off and i be a huge bronson fan and have be since the late 70 . i watch every film he make on the big screen since love and bullet and which ironically be the beginning of his end a a big name and hollywood blockbuster star . i keep hop that thing would turn around for him and that he would make a really good film in the 80 and but that never happen . and i do not know what he be think when he sign with cheapjack studio cannon and hack director j. lee thompson for most of his latter film . assasination give me some hope when i saw that peter hunt be direct instead of thompson but those hope be quickly dash . first off and the film look incredibly cheap and like it be make for about 3 mil and minus bronson inflate salary ( i heard he insist on 5 mil per picture which be probably more than the rest of the budget for all his cannon film ) . the white house scene be film on the va ground in west la i be take the bus when they be shoot . nice job on recreate the white house but do no one think about get the palm tree out of the shot . guess not . secondly and the support cast be really bad . ireland be die of cancer and despite this she not bad but the horrible asian woman play bronson sidekick be typical of cannon talent at the time non existent . i would be real curious to learn how she get this role . i can not imagine a bad actress for the part and plus she a good 40 year young than bronson . the story be not that bad and it something that big and well budget studio do later ( eastwood in the line of fire and costner bodyguard film ) but the way it stag here be really sad . i be wonder if they could not afford to do more than one or two take per shot . none of it be believable in the slightest . if secret service men really behave like the keystone cop in this movie we would have president rotate out of office ( and out of life ) every few month .
