Reviews

The New York Times -
It's movie making of the high, smooth, commercial order that Hollywood prides itself on but achieves with singular infrequency.
|
|
Chicago Sun-Times -
The director is Wolfgang Petersen ("Das Boot"), who is able to unwind the plot like clockwork while at the same time establishing the characters as surprisingly sympathetic.
|
|
Washington Post -
It's not the deepest thematic concern you ever saw on screen. But it's watchable, great fun.
|
|
Austin Chronicle -
In the Line of Fire is a terrific action movie with good performances and a smart script that occasionally falters for trying too hard but, on the whole, takes us on psychological journeys that few of us have had opportunities to experience.

ReelViews -
Petersen takes what could have been a muddled motion picture and structures it perfectly, creating a strong piece of entertainment. It helps, of course, that he has a capable cast.
