Luther Whitney, cambrioleur de haut vol, décide de finir sa carrière en beauté par un casse spectaculaire: celui de la maison d’un des hommes les plus influents d’Amérique. Tapi dans l’ombre de la maison, il est le témoin d’un assassinat commis par le Président des États-Unis et devient la cible des services secrets américains. (Warner Bros. Home Ent. FR)

Gene Hackman as a cold-blooded president, Ed Harris as a charismatic detective, Clint Eastwood as an elusive professional thief, and Scott Glenn and Dennis Haysbert as elite secret service agents, brilliant casting, no doubt about it. The plot is alright, if we overlook certain simplifications of some facts and focus only on those names, because Eastwood as a director didn't take into account practically any supporting characters, and when he did, it didn't turn out well at all (the hired sniper). The action is minimal, however, Clint knows how to shoot suspenseful scenes – though there aren’t many – and the whole thing is carried out in a slightly unremarkable and almost TV-like style, the acting ensemble is so good that you won’t be constantly looking at your watch.
