The speech heard before the American presidents in the G8 meeting, is held in Swedish, and is finished with the words "... vägnar vill jag tacka er för att ni stödjer Kyoto-protokollet. Tack så mycket.", which means "... I want to thank you for supporting the Kyoto Protocol. Thank you very much".

Pannen:

Faktische Fehler: During the summit, the Secret Service make a liberal use of their weapons, yet under Canadian Law, it is strictly forbidden for foreign agents to be armed. During previous actual presidential visits to Canada, Secret Service agents were unarmed.

Dialogzitate:

David Breckinridge: You're late.
Jill Marin: It's a minute past.
David Breckinridge: Yeah. And that makes you late.

Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland go down a well worn road in a good movie that really should have gone straight to cable

Michael Douglas is a secret service agent framed in a plot to kill the President of the US. Kiefer Sutherland is the agent on his tail.

Its not a bad movie its just been there done that with form over content film making. There is no real tension because the actors are in roles they've played a dozen or so times before (Sutherland in 24 each week)so you can pretty much walk them through whats happening.Thats the problem here, its all been done before, better.

The real question is: Do I really need to pay 10 bucks a head to see whats a essentially a big screen TV movie? I think not. As I said its not bad, its just not worth running out to the theater to see. Wait for cable where this movie really belongs.
