The climactic assassination attempt... is so ridiculous there's only one real danger: that the president (and the audience) will laugh to death.

Sheen is a handsome and resourceful actor, but not enough so to win in this conspiracy of shadows over substance.

Donald Sutherland plays Sheen's enigmatic mentor at the White House. Do you think he could have something to with the conspiracy? Sutherland as a bad guy? You think?
