 Deja Vu Plot Jan 24, 2010
The story revolves around a Secret Service Agent, Pete Garrison (played by Kirk Douglas) who is aging, but also having an affair with the President of the United States Wife, played by Kim Bassinger. Twenty years ago he saved a president's life by jumping in front of a bullet. In the opening scenes it is established he is a respected and has camaraderie with the Secret Service Presidential team.
So after his friend, Merriweather is shot and killed at his house the secrets of all come forth in the plot. The killing looks like a botched robbery, but it is soon established it was made to look that way. David Breckinridge (another Secret Service Agent played by Kiefer Sutherland) is a great detective and investigator.
All this unravels to be a secret plot by an "insider" to assassinate the president. This astounding revelation stuns the team as it has never happened before. Somehow they begin to suspect Garrison, who is being framed. Garrison knows he is a weak link because he is hiding a monumental secret, an affair with the first lady.
The film drags on the last half with gunfights and chases, and the plot seems familiar in many ways to Manchurian Candidate and other Presidential who-dun-its...
 Good Action Film Oct 01, 2009
Having just looked up when he was born and when the film was made, I can go ahead with what I was going to lead off with; that Michael Douglas looked his age and that fit the part he played, a very senior secret service agent. Perhaps he looked too old for all that running around but, then, those guys do keep in good shape.
Oh, yes, as to the picture. I liked it. It was a good action picture by a competent group of actors and a director who knew that one of the secrets of using a hackneyed plot, as most film plots are, is to keep up a fast pace so that people don't have slow stretches in which they might start thinking of all the holes you are trying to paper over. Douglas handles himself as the old pro he is as do the other younger pros. I suppose, before we learned what some Presidents have been doing in the White House (and, presumably, at other locations) it might have seemed a bit of a stretch to have the First Lady involved; now, of course, I shouldn't think it raised even a flicker of "oh, that could never happen".
So, not much to say that is not reported in the description of the film and the previous reviewers remarks. There is more than enough to grab and hold your attention until the end without any depressing thoughts about reality to jar your involvement.
Another Film to Forget Sep 06, 2009
Michael Douglas plays a secret service agent whose job is to protect the president. When Douglas refuses to disclose to his fellow agents why it took him four hours to go for coffee, they accuse him of planning to assassinate the president.
Nobody believes Douglas when he claims he is being framed from within the department. When agents try to arrest Douglas, he breaks free and runs for his life. The agents set out to kill him before he kills the president. Even when the bullets start flying, Douglas refuses to disclose the reason for his four-hour coffee break. In truth, he wasn't having coffee, he was banging the president's wife, but won't dishonor her by confessing her infidelity.
When the president's wife finally tells Keifer Sullivan, head of the secret service, that she was sleeping with Douglas on "coffee day", Sullivan changes his mind about Douglas' guilt and tries to save his life. But by then it's too late because the entire force is gunning for him.
The rest of the movie is your typical chase and run nonsense, with Douglas dodging bullets while trying to find the real assassin before he murders the president, his lover's husband.
The movie is mildly entertaining and laughable. Rent the DVD, but don't buy it. You'll never watch it again.
 I've seen the preview now where's the movie Aug 02, 2009
Not really much to say about this film. Not horrible, not great, and highly forgettable. There's a lot of story material slapped together here to create a fast-paced and at times confusing thriller. The action is not exceptional, but the movie doesn't really drag either. I almost felt like somebody was telling me about the story but I could see the images as well. It was difficult for me to really become involved with the characters and credibility was certainly stretched a great deal of the time. Actually the whole thing was somewhat like a very long trailer for a movie that looked like it might be pretty exciting and then, boom, some lame rap song and credits. It was like I saw the previews, but never really saw the movie. I'm not going to rave about this one, but it is probably adequate for a movie night diversion if you like secret service movies, scenes of Washington DC, or the actors involved. Otherwise, if you skip it you haven't missed much.

This is a great movie. I prefer full screen movies and am very pleased with this one. Michael Douglas is as always a great actor.
