    It is encouraging that well-crafted thrillers are still being made about characters who have dialogue, identities, motives and clean shirts.

    A slick enough thriller about a presidential assassination attempt. It is also a rather mechanical, soulless affair that avoids politics or anything else that might clearly define who these characters are and why we should care.

    Brought low by its premise and rendered idiotic by its subplot, this alleged political thriller spells momentary doom for star Michael Douglas.

Just a pure mess with a few parts I understood.… Expand
