"In The Line of Fire" is a thinking person's movie with lots of action, suspense, and brains as well! It gets better and better every time that I watch it! Clint Eastwood gave a superb performance as Secret Service Agent Frank Horrigan, a man who is haunted by a loss. In 1963, he was guarding President John F. Kennedy when the commander-in-chief was assassinated in Dallas, TX. Horrigan's inability to divert the tragedy has wreaked havoc on his personal life, making the aging agent socially reclusive and chagrined at his own failures. "A living legend; the only active agent who ever lost a President", says Horrigan of his soiled reputation. His chance to redeem himself comes soon enough, though.
A meticulous psychopath named Mitch Leary (John Malkovich in a outstanding and frightening performance) is threatening the current president, and Horrigan is back on the case. Leary identifies himself as John Booth, an eerie reference to President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. Leary taunts Horrigan for his failings, and his pranks become more dangerous as he gets closer to his endgame.
Wolfgang Petersen ("Das Boot", "Air Force One") directs this super-slick thriller with sheer intensity and explosive action as well. Two powerhouse actors, plus a great supporting cast (Rene Russo, Dylan McDermott, John Mahoney, Gary Cole, Fred Dalton Thompson) make "In The Line of Fire" one of the absolute best suspense films of 1993!

This movie gets better everytime I watch it. It catches a super look at a crazed citizen and how easy it is...in theory, for somebody to actually assassinate an American President. John Malcovich, especailly, is AWESOME in this movie. He plays a sick sick man who develops an obbession of death and killing the president of the United States. Clint Eastwood plays one of the Presidents body guards in the secret service. He has been on the force for a long time and he is struggleing with retirement. When the two characters first meet we feel a tremendous rush of suspence and it holds us through the entire movie! This is an exellent movie, sometimes overlooked. A deffinate 5 star!

This movie was Clint Eastwood at his very best. Eastwood plays the role of a Secret Service agent who is in charge of protecting the President. He had previously been on the detail of protecting Kennedy in Dallas. John Malkovich is absolutely evil and sinister in his role as the assasin. He and Eastwood struggle throught the entire film. Eastwood's girlfriend also adds to the movie. This movie is tense from the beginning to the end.There are plenty of action sequences that keep the movie very
lively and entertaining. The ending effectively wraps up the movie. Buy and watch this video. You will not be dissapointed.

This is the first and only action thriller I think that was able to engage me emotionally. This was definitley Clint Eastwood's best role surpassing his some-what overrated performance in Unforgiven. Here he plays Frank Horrigan, an aging man still clinging on to his job as a secret service agent because he couldn't protect JFK. Then comes John Malkovich's character. Frank, living a life full of regret, is given a second chance to prove to himself and to the honor of his duty to get in the line of fire(during the climax set int he elivator, Frank finally gets in the line of fire risking his own life knowing that the snipers around the area cannot see what's taking place inside). As for John Malkovich's character, I thought it was tragic that him and Frank were basically products of the same government. The revealing of the villain's childhood photos was effective in its ability to make me feel pity for him. A psychopath who feels he's been turned into a monster by the government. A villain not seeking money but seeking closure and vacant vengeance. These were several things that made this action thriller stand out from the rest of its genre. Now if only more action movies put story first and then the explosions second...
