Description

A gripping, gut-wrenching thriller that delivers suspense in almost unbearable doses, "In the Line of Fire" showcases Clint Eastwood at his finest. In a performance that won universal acclaim, Eastwood stars as Frank Horrigan, a veteran Secret Service agent haunted by his failure to protect John F. Kennedy from assassination. Thirty years later, he gets a chance to redeem himself when a brilliant psychopath threatens to kill the current president and take Horrigan with him. Taunting him by phone and tantalizing him with clues, the assassin (John Malkovich) lures Horrigan into an electrifying battle of wits and will that only one man can survive. Co-starring Rene Russo as Horrigan's risk-taking Field Chief, "In the Line of Fire" is a high-wire balancing act of searing suspense, explosive action and surprising romance.

    This is a good solid CLINT picture with a strong cast to support him. Including a rather chilling performance by John Malkovich, In the Line of Fire is a reliable '90s secret service thriller that is sure not to disappoint.
  • A true classic

    This film is brilliant. On the front of a VHS version of 'Crimson Tide,' I once saw written by a critic, 'tension you can chew' - I believe this applies equally well to this film. Excellent performances all round - well paced - well strung together. I have no hesitation in recommending anyone to purchase this film, I have seen it many times and it never gets tiresome.
  • Superb Thriller
