There's never been a traitor in the United States Secret Service...until now. Such is the premise of this solid little thriller.

It’s got everything you’d expect, thrills, twists, and action galore. It even has the pre-requisite sex appeal; that is if you like Eva Longoria.

It’s also surprisingly clean in the sex department, despite a subplot that could have been exploited by an easily distracted director.

Fortunately director Clark Johnson keeps things tight and focussed.

The only downside to the whole deal is some of the actors.

For one there’s a lot of TV stars in bit roles, which is kinda weird, the weirdest of all is Sledge Hammer’s David Rasche playing the President. The oddest being Kiefer Sutherland, who I used to love as an actor, but who now has become type cast as Jack Bauer and just can’t seem to be anyone else.

All in all though, and enjoyable night in front of the TV.

Food for thought:
Which is more reliable, the evidence or the heart?

Rent or Buy?
Buy it, it’s worth watching again, even is Jack Bauer looks out of place!
