Clint Eastwood delivers one of his finest performances, as a secret service agent haunted by his past in Wolfgang Petersen's taut thriller In the Line of Fire. Eastwood plays Frank Horrigan, a secret service agent who keeps thinking back to November 22, 1963, when, as an agent hand-picked by President Kennedy, he became one of the few agents to have lost a president to an assassin. Decades later, psychotic Mitch Leary (John Malkovich) is stalking another president (Jim Curley) running for re-election. He has spent long hours studying the psyche of Frank Horrigan, and he taunts Horrigan (feeling that there is a bond between them), telling him of his plans to kill the president. After his conversation with Leary, Horrigan makes sure he is assigned to presidential protection duty. Horrigan has no intention of failing his president this time around, and he is more than willing to take a bullet. But everything goes Leary's way -- he is smart and cagey and the president's aides refuse to alter the itinerary. As the election draws closer, Horrigan's chances to catch Leary look to be less and less a possibility, and he begins to doubt his own abilities -- both now and in the past, when Kennedy was murdered.

I’m not a huge Clint Eastwood fan but In The Line of Fire is actually a pretty entertaining movie and is one of this first steps away from the “badass” characters that we are used to seeing him in.

QUALITY:
A decent picture, but pretty bad sound make this one a so-so release.

BONUS FEATURES:
Featurettes, Documentary, Deleted Scenes, Commentary.

Rene Russo is, well, Rene Russo. John Malkovich is astounding. Clint Eastwood is not overacting. The movie is entertaining. What more could you want? The features are fun, the movie is great and the picture is decent. Better sound would have made this a solid release.

Tom Mullen (Mel Gibson) has everything he could want; a beautiful wife, a wonderful son, and is comfortably rich. But all of that is threatened when his son is kidnapped and held for ransom. Ignoring FBI specialist, Tom takes matters into his own hands to try and find the kidnappers. But as things spiral out of control it seems Tom may never see his son again.

“Ransom” is a great movie; but since it has been out awhile this grade is for what they qualify as a special edition not the movie itself. I was disappointed in the few features on this disc. There are deleted scenes, but they are short and very few. There is a “What Would You Do?” feature and a behind the scenes special with Ron Howard. Let me sum these up real quick: Ron Howard talks about how he directed this film without really saying anything, Rene Russo says she hates panty hose three times, and they show cupcakes she brought for the crew and Mel Gibson laughs while smoking a cigarette. I watched these and felt they were quickly thrown together. If you already own Ransom on DVD I wouldn’t suggest buying this one too.
