Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Charlie Sheen plays a presidential aide who gets wind of a conspiracy at the highest levels of government and quickly finds himself targeted by the mystery villains. Loaded down by coincidences, improbabilities, and a third-rate script, the film comes across as a poor man's cross between The Firm and The X-Files. Nobody involved gets away clean, especially Sheen, who looks like a man condemned to these awful potboilers. (Remember the days of Wall Street?) But what are Gore Vidal, Theodore Bikel, and Sam Waterston doing in here? Directed by George P. Cosmatos, who has done some lousy work, for sure (Leviathan), but also some good (Tombstone). --Tom Keogh

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - One of my all-time favorite suspense movies
This is a great movie if you like political intrigue, action and suspense, and if you're a fan of Donald Sutherland and Charlie Sheen. This movie is almost more relevant today than it was when it was made. Great cast and attention-getting, creative plot, with its fair share of twists and turns. If you've never seen this movie, you should!
Rating: - Fair action adventure flick
This wasn't the best action/adventure flick, not by a long shot. It did have a pretty good story line and some good action and fighting. It lost me toward the end with the toy-helicopter flying around shooting real rounds and killing by-standers but always missing the real targets. This film would have got 4-stars from me but for that cheesy ending.
Rating:  - Terrific Political Thriller !!!
This is a gem of a movie. Charlie Sheen does
the best that he is capable of.Donald Sutherland
is his usual brilliant self.It's about a shadow
government within the government that is trying
to run things.Sheen plays Billy Bishop,an advisor
to the president( ok,nobody can buy that)and he
accidently stumbles onto a shadow gov.That's when
the bodies start piling up.Despite Sheen,the story
itself is a really good political thriller.

Rating:  - A lot of loose ends!
The film starts off good. Researchers are knocked off one by one by an assassin. Who is this man? Who does he work for? The film then takes bad turn by not explaining more in detail what's going on. The premise is there. There are moments of suspense. But, the execution just doesn't work. Blame the story and screenplay for that! By the end of this film, I wondered "why"? We don't get that answer and this film leaves a lot of loose ends. Marginal thumbs down.
Rating: - Okay first off none of these reviews are about the music!!!
Hello! I'm an angry customer! Stop putting reviews next items that have nothing to do with the item they are under. Everyone that sees this will think that the score for the film is bad, when in reality the music is gorgeous. Don't pay attention to the reviews; they only talk about the film. Oh right the "VHS" edition...stupid. The music is most certainly worth the money. If you like good action cues and a lot of them, and you like Bruce Broughton, well then don't hesitate to buy this score. The ... Read More
