Review

Interesting movie about a security person whom job is to protect the president and if needed even get in the line of fire.

One mentally unstable ex-CIA man threats the presidents life and he thinks that this security guy have similarities with him. He gets in contact with him many times and national security guys tries to find out who he is before it is too late and he have a possibility to kill the president who is doing his election campaign.

I liked how this movie builds and how its pacing was slow enough to give story enough space to breath and develop. In contrast action scenes gave the good balance so the movie didn't felt boring at any time.

This was a good movie in its own genre.
