Summary: Clint still has it!
Review: Just the right amount of humor, mostly Clint poking fun at his age, and action. Great acting by Malkovich, and the chemistry is right on. This is a movie I've really enjoyed and look forward to watching again and again. However, don't be fooled by the "Deluxe Widescreen Presentation" title. There are zero special features besides the French language option and the Spanish or Korean subtitles. I'd hate to see the non-deluxe widescreen presentation...does it have no sound or something? Get the "Special" edition if you want any features besides the movie.

Summary: Smarter than Your Average Thriller
Review: This is a marvelous film which you surely will enjoy if you like the genre. By far the best performance I've seen by Eastwood--
outstanding. But the real ringer here is John Malkovich--far more intelligent and just as lethal a foe as any faced by our current film heroes. I agree he should have won an Oscar. An unforgettable performance. When he's on the screen, either in person or by phone, the intensity is palpable. Someone should pit Malkovich as villian against Tommy Lee Jones as hero--that would be very interesting.

Summary: Lots Going On
Review: This movie has a lot going on and juggles them all very well. You have the intrigue of a Presidential assassin, the Secret Service (which you rarely see movies about), aging agents, small-time office romance. It changes rapidly and makes for a very enjoyable viewing. The cinematography is good, especially considering the environment, the transfer, sound and editing are very good. This definitely makes for a good Friday or Saturday evening flick.

Summary: A good thriller
Review: Unlike the usual thriller where you can see how it ends long before the ending, this one actually has some mystery and tension. You *know* in the back of your brain that he's gonna get the bad guy. But how? The back and forth dialog between the two build things up nicely, I wish Hollywood would do that more often instead of relying on the typical car crash or gigantic explosion. See this movie! You'll be on the edge of your seat by the time the two finally get together for the show-down!

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST THRILLERS OF THE NINETIES
Review: Yesterday, for the fifth time in ten years, I saw IN THE LINE OF FIRE. And I will see it some more times again. Why ?I must admit that Clint Eastwood, since 25 years, is one of my favorite actors and directors. Who could have predicted, when Clint starred in the Leone's movies, that he will become the institution he is now ? In this Wolfgang Petersen's movie, he plays the role of an aged Secret Service agent who cannot forget the day JFK died. Because he was there and couldn't give his life in order to save his President. As for the Harry Callaghan of DIRTY HARRY, reality stopped at this very moment for him. Until the day a mad John MALKOVICH appears. From the past, it seems, because the only way to communicate with him is by phone, an antic object which creates the panic in the ranks of the superguys of the F.B.I. IN THE LINE OF FIRE is a "thick" movie you can talk about for hours with your friends. It is also an intelligent movie, which is pretty rare nowadays. A DVD zone your library.

Summary: What a brilliant thriller!
Review: I stumbled onto this movie years ago. I hadn't seen any commericials or trailers. It looked OK to me, so I rented it for the evening. It's about one of Kennedy's disillusioned former bodyguards, Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood), who's taunted by an unknown man (John Malkovich) who's planning to assassinate the president. The ensuing cat and mouse game between the two man makes for a very tense and interesting thriller. What a pleasent surprise this movie was! Not just Clint Eastwood, as the aging Secret Service agent. Also John Malkovich (whom I didn't know until this movie) for his excellent portrayal of the psychotic terrorist. It's one of the better thrillers of the nineties!

Summary: good movie, but corny ending
Review: this is a pretty good movie that revolves around a Secret Service man who is haunted down by an assassin out to get the President of the United States. Eastwood's character was a Secret Service agent that was there the day JFK was killed, but he did nothing, and how Malchovich is trying to kill the President and leave Eastwood as the only Secret Service man to be involved in the death's of 2 Presidents. good overall movie, but then the last half hour or so just gets to corny and it almost ruins the movie. you already know what is going to happen, but in the matter or way that it happens is corny. still a good movie.

Summary: Flawed character and redemption
Review: This is a powerful story about Clint Eastwood as an aged secret service agent who has experienced turmoil in his life. Once a young brash man who rose to a position to protect the president, he has fallen onto hard times with the personal guilt of having seen his president assasinated. By chance he has the opportunity to redeem his life and once again defend the president. John Malkovich portrays the potent and sinister, yet very personable ex-CIA assassin who has revenge for the government that betrayed him. We are drawn through the eyes of Clint Eastwood's character as he battles one last time to combat a strategy of this cunning opponent to perhaps, rebuild the life that was taken from him.
