I could not get three things out of my head the entire time I watched this movie, therefore ruining it for me.
First, if a Federal employee is murdered on Federal property, it is a Federal crime, and therefore under the jurisdiction of the F.B.I., not the local city police department. This movie would have been much better if the FBI was in charge, and the local city cop, who had no business being there, had to fight against both the Secret Service and the FBI to obtain justice for the person being framed.
Second, the Secret Service agent assigned to help Regis did not realize the First Family was in the White House at the time of the murder until the movie was almost over. Give me a break! Any Secret Service agent assigned to the White House would know exactly where the President was at all times.
Third, what was the motivation of the assisting Secret Service agent to help Regis after she had been told to stop helping him? She stole evidence and killed several people without ever stating her reasons for doing so. How about a little love story at least to make her character somewhat interesting!
Also, it was too bad that Alan Alda's good name had to be soiled with such a bad movie. His character was the only one that was remotely interesting.
