Review of Deterrence (2000) by Matt R — 25 Jun 2010
This is one of the most poorly conceived, poorly written, badly acted "political thrillers" ever. I am appalled that such fine actors as Kevin Pollack and Timothy Hutton would even be ATTACHED to this piece of garbage.
From moment one, nothing that takes place in the film could or would ever have actually taken place. Never in a million years would civilians be allowed to "hang out" near the President of the United States while he is waging war via satellite. TWO secret service officers enter the place and don't 1) take the cell phones and 2) the PROPRIETER'S GUN away from the civilians during this world-threatening incident? CIVILIANS just throw their personal opinions around to political officials who LISTEN AND ARE SWAYED BY THEIR IDEAS!?
Total crap. Rent "The West Wing.".
