In the Line of Fire (1993)

Haunted by his inability to protect JFK, secret service agent Clint Eastwood is determined not to fail again when John Malkovich begins a cat and mouse game with the current President’s life at stake. So terribly repetitive and predictable, Malkovich’s clever, ruthless villain almost saves the film. Unfortunately a love affair between Clint and fellow agent Rene Russo is so far-fetched and diluting to both agents’ competency that I can’t imagine wanting to watch this again.   

Oscar Nominations: Best Actor in a Supporting Role; Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen; Best Film Editing
