The president (William Hurt) gets shot and the chase is on to save him and catch his shooter. The story is told from a few different vantage points and at times it gets very disturbing that each "story" is re-told from the same starting point (just before noon) but that ends up adding to the suspense.

It's three strong stars out of 4.



You know, Dennis Quaid should get more action roles quite honestly. An underrated actor he is.

Hell, I still think he should have been casted for THE PUNISHER instead of Thomas Jane all those years ago.
