What about if we had to go off the meter? I need a man, a man who can unquestioningly follow orders.

The door is closed sir.
Burch:
I need to ask you to do something.

One Of Kilmer's Best Performances, 7 March 2006
Author:
ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States
Secret Serviceman extraordinnaire Val Kilmer tries to retrieve a
kidnapped politician's daughter in this surprisingly-good thriller.There isn't a lot of violence in this modern day tough rescue story,
but when it occurs, look out! Kilmer is very good in here, one of his
best performances ever and the film is nicely photographed. The only
warning I would give viewers is the language, which contains about 25
f-words.The best plug I can give this film is that it was very entertaining,
start to finish, and that's what most of us are looking for -
entertainment. It keeps your attention the full 100-plus minutes, so
what's not to like? As mentioned, Kilmer is very, very good in here
and, make no mistake: he's the show. Everything in the story really
revolves around him.There was anything that struck a sour note with me, it would be the
story with the kidnapped girl's father. I don't think he was realistic,
but I won't say more in fear of spoiling anything for those who haven't
seen this.Nonetheless, an under-publicized excellent film of 2004.
