Patrick Muldoon is miscast (he's too clean-cut to be convincing as a bad-ass agent), Roy Scheider is even more miscast (blowing up Bill Clinton's public image at the time, the US President is practically a satyr), but some familiar faces in the supporting cast are most welcome, and help keep this film watchable: Michael Biehn as a traitor, Phillip Tan as a henchman, Maria Conchita Alonso as the trying-to-stay-calm-under-pressure Vice President, and Sung Hi Lee as a sexy operative. Though the stakes of the plot are high, there are no real standout action set pieces, dooming "Chain Of Command" to the land of forgettable straight-to-video action flicks. ** out of 4.
