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

Top CriticThe film is so contemptuous of its audience it doesn't even bother to present a surface resemblance to reality.

Top CriticWhen Charlie Sheen and Donald Sutherland appear in any movie, you should be wary. Their contracts seem to demand nothing but corny formula.

Top CriticHere, we have stereotyped villains involved in a generic, high- level conspiracy, and a couple of equally-bland heroes on the run.
