IMDb 7.2 Metacritic 74 RT 96%

Watch it tonight. This is a taut, intelligent thriller with Clint Eastwood doing what he does best—playing a weathered pro haunted by the past—and John Malkovich as a genuinely unsettling antagonist. It's the kind of smart, character-driven action film they don't make much anymore, and it absolutely holds up.

Plot

Veteran Secret Service agent Frank Horrigan is a man haunted by his failure to save President Kennedy while serving protection detail in Dallas. Thirty years later, a man calling himself "Booth" threatens the life of the current President, forcing Horrigan to come back to protection detail to confront the ghosts from his past.
