John McWhirter is a hard-drinking reporter whose award-winning career is slipping away. But he's just been handed the story of a lifetime and his editor wants the scoop. A group of radicals want McWhirter to protect a beautiful fugitive who is actually a Palestinian operative on the run from the FBI and an assassin. As the pulse-pounding action builds to an astonishing climax, McWhirter must fight for both the woman he loves and the story of a lifetime - and hope he doesn't have to choose between them.

This film has one problem. And that's the fact that it's utterly bland in all aspects. An investigative, but slightly aged journalist gets hold of a report that puts his life at risk. The idea itself is not a bad one. If you can accept that the terrorists are from Palestine. Director John Bradshaw plays with the film quite artfully and tries to squeeze as much as he can out of the sloppily written script. The density of tension in the atmosphere is at a fairly appealing level, and the storytelling pace has rapid turns, so there's no risk of that thing called boredom. Unfortunately, there are scenes in the film that occasionally don't fit well, such as those involving shooting or "interrogations." It turns the "office" thriller into a bit of an unnecessary bloodbath. Fred Ward's presence in the lead role gives off a certain charisma, and his acting performance is also quite commendable. The ending is surprising on the one hand, but on the other, I had to close my eyes to avoid seeing what I had already seen several times. This is a bland thriller that you’ll forget in a week.
