Review of In the Line of Fire (1993) by Jayakrishnan R — 03 Jun 2015
83%.
Saw this on 4/6/15.
This is a highly implausible and improbable thriller that wants people to believe that one man, just one man can alone try and nearly achieve a successful assassination attempt on the president of USA without any help from anyone else. However, the entire procedure is elevated by engaging performances from Eastwood and Malkovich and also by a well handled direction from Petersen. The visual effects are mostly bad and unrealistic and the film released just 2 years after the iconic hit JFK(1991) itself has a conspiracy around it, perhaps to save someone's face. The film also draws a lot from a similar film called The Bodyguard(1992).
