Interesting, though flawed
13 November 2005
It's not most of the many "goofs" listed on this site that are the flaws which bothered m, but the hard to discern and/or decipher plot. Without giving anything away, the Broome character's motivation and actions seem often to be out of sync. One goof that doesn't seem to make any sense is the identification of the characters assigned to protect the foreign dignitary being -- for no apparent reason -- from the Secret Service and not State's Foreign Dignitary Protection Office. There seems to be no plot reason whey this wouldn't work just as well with the proper group.

The ending seems a bit abrupt and seems not to ring true. Despite all this, I enjoyed the movie as I think will most, the acting of Penn and Kidman being enough to "carry the day".
