*** Stars
Pete Garrison (Michael Douglas, in his first role since 2003's The In Laws) has been a Secret Service agent to the president for as long as he can remember. He's been trying to protect the president from any threat that comes his way, which ironically becomes himself. He is set up to take the fall for an assassination attempt on the president after one his loyal agents and friend is killed. Garrison desperately attempts to prove his innocence by searching for the real criminal behind this operation. While doing this, he is tracked by his former best friend David Breckenridge (24's Kiefer Sutherland)
The performances and script are solid. I can't ever imagine the president going to Toronto for a public speech right after the presidential helicopter is shot down. Still, this is an entertaining and well-crafted thriller.
