The New York Times - Vincent Canby
It's movie making of the high, smooth, commercial order that Hollywood prides itself on but achieves with singular infrequency.
88
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
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.
80
Washington Post - Desson Thomson
It's not the deepest thematic concern you ever saw on screen. But it's watchable, great fun.
78
Austin Chronicle - Marjorie Baumgarten
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.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
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.
