Movie Reviews:
- r96sk: I wish it was paced better, but ‘In the Line of Fire’ still makes for a good time.
Clint Eastwood and John Malkovich is a great line-up and both are entertaining in this, the latter is just terrific at playing a loopy bad guy. There’s a fair few well known peeps behind them, including John Heard and Gary Cole – it’s a fairly strong cast.
The story is an interesting one, though given that you’d expect the film to move along at a better pace but it kinda just walks through its 128 minute run time. It’s not a drag or anything, but I definitely wasn’t on the edge of my seat unfortunately. It’s still a film I’d recommend, though.
