Ever since he failed to save the life of President John F. Kennedy in the 1963 Dealey Plaza assassination, secret service agent Frank Horrigan (Clint Eastwood) has had to live with the guilty feeling that maybe things would have been different if he had reacted more quickly.
Thirty years after the event, when the U.S. President begins receiving death threats, Horrigan investigates and finds the culprit to be master-of-disguise Mitch Leary (John Malkovich). However, a simple arrest is out of the question, for Leary knows about Horrigan's weakness and is determined to use it against him in a lethal game of cat and mouse.

In The Line Of Fire
This 1993 action film sees Clint Eastwood taking a break from directing duties after the success of Unforgiven, but there is still no doubt whose film this is. Eastwood is seen here in one of his better roles, as ageing Frank Horrigan, a secret service agent who was on duty the day Kennedy got shot. Eastwood and Malkovich dominate the film and the scenes they share are electrifying. Rene Russo is left with little to do other than provide the eye candy but nevertheless makes the most of an underwritten role. The rest of the cast orbit their star, Eastwood anchoring the whole film and keeping it just this side of plausible. I found it to be a very gripping film, and really enjoyed it. You may have already caught this on TV, but if not, you should consider purchasing it.
