This was one of the first films I watched in the cinema. Loved it then and I still enjoy it now. It's a really solid thriller where you can guess the nding but the journey is just as enjoyable. Clint is excellent at being a film star. The supporting cast are solid. The story is good. The script is just a little functional though. An 80s film made in the 90s and I cannot complain at that. Well worth a watch if you've never seen it. 8/10

Very bland, feels like the 90s equivalent of those Liam Neeson thrillers from the past 15 years. It’s so cliche and derivative to the point where there’s nothing memorable about it. The acting and directing feel low effort, it’s too long, some writing choices are very dumb and the small bits of action are just serviceable. It’s watchable, but I don’t recommend to seek this out. 4/10

I wish it was paced better, but 'In the Line of Fire' still makes for a good time. Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich is a great line-up and both are entertaining in this, the latter is just terrific at playing a loopy bad guy. There's a fair few well known peeps behind them, including John Heard and Gary Cole - it's a fairly strong cast. The story is an interesting one, though given that you'd expect the film to move along at a better pace but it kinda just walks through its 128 minute run time. It's not a drag or anything, but I definitely wasn't on the edge of my seat unfortunately. It's still a film I'd recommend, though.

**Action, entertainment and verisimilitude together in a film that is better than many others, more regularly remembered.**

This is a conventional American-style action film, where everything revolves around the unassailable and sacrosanct figure of the President. There are loads of films like th More
