Review of In the Line of Fire (1993) by Adam S — 17 Apr 2014
A gripping Secret Service thriller, "In the Line of Fire" does nowadays hold a very 90's feel to it, but this Clint Eastwood/Wolfgang Petersen collaboration is still very much an exciting and enjoyable film.
Also starring John Malkovich and Rene Russo, this film works best when showing the phone call scenes between Eastwood's straight-laced no nonsense agent and John Malkovich's eccentric, psychotic assassin. The way the veteran actors bounce off of each other, using their career typecast characters to incredible effect, makes for a brilliant game of cat-and-mouse that can keep an audience on the edge of their seat.
With a similarly stunning climax, this film may take a while to get going, but it is sure to get you sucked in at some point, with memorable lines and great acting.
