Critic Reviews
-
Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
Bland, interminable chase scenes take up so much of the story -- the hackneyed plot doesn't need much exposition -- that the sheer repetitiveness begins to amaze you.
-
Daniel M. Kimmel, Variety
The climactic assassination attempt... is so ridiculous there's only one real danger: that the president (and the audience) will laugh to death.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
The film is so contemptuous of its audience it doesn't even bother to present a surface resemblance to reality.
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
When Charlie Sheen and Donald Sutherland appear in any movie, you should be wary. Their contracts seem to demand nothing but corny formula.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
There isn't a brain in its empty little head, or in its assembly-line story, which is about how Charlie Sheen pauses occasionally between ludicrous action scenes, some of them ripped off from better films.
