Middle-aged Secret Service agent Clint Eastwood tangles with ex-CIA psycho John Malkovich who has plans to assassinate the president. Eastwood deals with his clueless superiors, his own frail health and the guilt from failing to protect JFK in Dallas. He also makes time to romance fellow agent Rene Russo in a tepid and unnecessary distraction. It all lunges forward to the inevitable Big Action Finale featuring implausible perfect timing which allows Eastwood to redeem himself.
