Nice to see a tv movie that can actually generate suspense and tension rather than make you reach for the remote in boredom.
Some decent acting, plenty of sharp dialogue, with kudos to Chris Noth, Martin Sheen and Vincent Spano.
I don't generally give tv movies the time of day, but this grabbed my interest and held me there for three hours solid. It was great to see it all in one go with no commercial breaks, the time really did fly by - pardon the pun!
Despite one or two moments that stretch the plausibility factor, if you like a good political thriller, this is definitely worthy of your time.
