Comments

Backlog Andy M.

In the line of fire was that era movies and tv like the X-Files referenced the kennedy assassination.

Jason Dolan

This is good time for this because John Malkovich is probably winning the Oscar this year

Scott CineRam

Maybe, but I think it's gonna be Damon for The Odyssey.

Steve Mercier

Malkovich Malkovich...Malkovich? Malkovich Malkovich.

Brian Anthony

John Malkovich was the best thing about Red 1 and 2.

Keith Brown

This is the movie Clint starred in after he won the Oscars for "Unforgiven". I think this has my favorite of Clint's acting performances in his long career.

Florian Meier

Perfect Timing !! Coming home from London so i will watch it tomorrow with you Guys !!! Hope you love it like the last time, so really can't wait ;)

Jen Barnes

Clint was a very attractive 62 in this movie. Rene Russo was the movie girlfriend of the 90s, I highly recommend Get Shorty for more Rene.

Thank you for reacting to "In the Line of Fire". I really like the writing of the story/dialogue and the performances of all the principal cast. Even the two thorns in Frank Horrigan's side, played by actors Gary Cole and former U.S. Senator Fred Thompson, provided us with the frustration that Frank felt. Regarding why an actor like John Malkovich isn't as big as a movie star as Clint is for a number of reasons. Maybe it's the projects he chooses (or is offered). Some actors like Laura Linney and Malkovich are known for their stage craft, so moviegoers may not be as familiar with that work. You can see some crossover with many Tony Award winners and nominees appearing in TV shows like HBO's "The Gilded Age".

This is my number 1 favorite political thriller!

Glad you both loved it like Me ;) i agree with you Sam (Clint and Malkovich are the perfect Duo!!!) And Malkovich is the perfect Villian !!! He Lost to Tommy Lee Jones at the Oscars, but this was such an Outstanding Perfomance !!! This is one of my all time fav Action Thriller and One of Clints Best Perfomances as an Actor !!! Loved it

Florian Meier

Now it's time for Being John Malkovich ;)

Yep, there was a while there where it seemed like half of the studio movies made starred Rene Russo, and then *poof*. I was excited to see her surface again in Nightcrawler many years later, likely due to her husband directing.

Next up : The Jackal ... With Bruce Willis. Praying for him and his family.

Another political thriller with Clint Eastwood is Absolute Power, co-staring Gene Hackman. Fred Thompson, the guy who played the White House Chief of Staff, in addition to being great actor appearing in numerous film and TV series was also an attorney and a Senator for Tennessee. Also, while the Secret Service is most famously known for being the security for the president, they also investigate financial crimes and cyber crime. Identity theft, forgery, counterfeiting, bank fraud all fall under rhe perview of the Secret Service.

When I see Rene as anyone else's girlfriend/wife I always feel like she's cheating on Riggs from Lethal Weapon!

“Uhhhhh…. I have to put all that shit back on.” 😶 A favorite since it was released. Not only is it great because of Malkovich, but it’s also a slightly different flavor of Eastwood. As others have said, another great example of Rene Russo is Get Shorty (1995). The cast for that one is also stacked, top to bottom.

Marcus Cato

Hey Malkovich, think fast!

Clint Eastwood joked that he only has 2 performances in his range (hat) Brim down and Brim up

I consider this movie a personal favorite of mine for the last 25 years or so, and it was my choice in the poll as well so I couldn't wait to watch it. I loved the character of Al, and someone told me once something that I never really thought of until recently....the character of Al may be a subconscious allegory to JFK. Think about it...kind of looks like JFK or JFK Jr, good looking, young, wife and kids. Frank feels the same loss as he did for JFK. Something interesting to think about. Two actors were considered for the role of Al. One was Bill Pullman and the other was William Baldwin of Backdraft fame. I could have seen them both in this role (especially William Baldwin) but Dylan McDermott was great. Really really great reaction! One of the best reactions I have seen you guys do this year, I can tell you guys really liked it. (I think I will rank my fav reactions you did at the end of this year, and this one will be on that list for sure). Mike

Will Knox

My favorite John Malkovich performance! Such a great movie!

Florian Meier

Haha :) Always think on Lethal Weapon when i see her in something

OddThomas

For more Malkovich I recommend Of Mice and Men. Complete opposite role to Line of Fire. For Clint, A Perfect World

Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair (1999), is forever burned in my brain... and not just for the 2 obvious reasons.

I'm in the mood for a Puppet Show. Malkovich is the way to Be.
