This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

The first must-see film of the year.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Among the worst Charles Bronson films he did with Golan Globus. This conspiracy thriller lacks intensity, action or much of anything.The story involves Bronson (looking haggard at 64) as a former Special Forces turned Secret Service Agent, who has to protect the obnoxious new first lady played by Jill Ireland. Soon the couple, have to go on the run, as assassins are hot on their tail.The story is bland as ever and the movie feels more like a pensioner holiday in the countryside than a thriller. Even more egregious is the inappropriate romance between Charles Bronson and his much younger female agent. Additionally, the dialogue is trite and juvenile. Skip and avoid this embarrassment of a movie.1/10

Charles Bronson plays Jay Killian, a veteran Secret Service agent who finds himself assigned to protect the new First Lady(played by his wife Jill Ireland) who is a naive and arrogant feminist that resents being guarded. Of course, his protection is vital because someone is trying to kill the first lady(code name "one mama"!). Killian must go on the run with her on a cross-country trek to uncover the conspirators in this plot.Drearily routine and tired film with bored looking actors going through the motions. Plot is ridiculous, and direction(by Peter Hunt) surprisingly poor; it's as if everyone knew this was a turkey, so didn't try very hard. Almost good bad, but not quite. At least it's innocuous...

I just saw this movie and the beginning started out pretty good and kind of funny between Ireland and Bronson. Just let you all know that I believe that Jill will go lethal with the shoe she had on if you mess with her so DON'T. But then at the middle of the movie, it had ups and downs. The first thing about it is that most of the action scenes go a little too fast and some of the non-action scenes go little fast too but other wise, the film is pretty good. Just to let you know that this is the last film that Charles and Jill are together and still do good being together in this film and I hope you you all enjoy the film.I give this a 7/10

Charles Bronson has given the viewers lots of great moments on the screen. But this movie lacks everything that a thriller/action-movie should have. There are a few action scenes in the movie, but they're really crappy. And when the action scenes fail, does the story save the film? Not at all, is my answer to that. The story is even worse than the action scenes. It's very straightforward and boring, and even though I'm a big movie fan, I almost fell asleep several times. I don't know how they came up with a failure like this. A low budget, maybe? Regardless of that, it looked like all the actors had no interest in being in the movie at all. When that happens, the result is really bad.
