It's not very often that I say this but this movie needed to be longer. There was way too much plot to explain and they didn't explain a lot of it. It was a pretty good chase/save the president movie but it could have been so much better. They really didn't explain the motivation behind anything such as minor points like WHY did they want to kill the president.

It was certainly watchable and somewhat entertaining but it needed to either have the plot severly simplified or they needed more time to explain it all.

In a nutshell, worth the matinee price that I paid, probably not worth an evening admission.

3 out of 5 stars

How is the Greco Factor with Eva Longoria???

Forgot to mention the Greco Factor. I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. Eva wore a pants suit most of the time. There was a great scene when she first meets Kiefer Sutherland. She is wearing tight pants and a low cut shirt. One of Kiefer's partners is eyeing her and the camera zooms in on her ass and chest.

Very Cool Movie

It was suspenseful throughout and kept me guessing through the end. Agreed on the EVA Longoria factor, but I'll give it a 6/10 since she is dressed very conservatively through the film.

Great Cast and Great plot = great movie
