Pretentious and shady premise about so implausible attempt to overthrow a democratic president over a military deadlock at North Korea about so robust American institution, a subjective crime committed at so sacred ground, as though were a banana's republic, nonetheless as fictional thriller works very well, displaying a clash of two opposite powers at White House, an overzealous security chief Spikings (Daniel Benzali) and the secretary of government Jordan (Alan Alda) who spent thirty years of the devoted works side by side with the president, many elements are introduce in the screenplay suggesting Spikings to cover up a supposedly president's affair or his playboy son, Jordan manages the highly regarded Detective Regis (Snipes) to fulfill his duty on the odd case of murder, in other hand Nina Chance (Diane Lane) from secret service was in charge to accompany the waspish detective Regis under order of Spikings, an engaging and non-stopping political thriller, reaching in a peak at underground sequence, also has many interesting info over so famous spot, with smallest details due it was a true sound stage's replica as never seen before, glad to see again the charming Diane Baker as President's lady, Benzali and Ronnie Cox are blameless in their characters, highly recommended just as entertainment, nothing more!!
