Shadow Conspiracy (1997)

The problem when you try to tell a story like this, is that there has to be a degree on plausibility in the premiss. Otherwise, it might as well have stayed on the page. This is, sadly, an example of the latter. "Bishop" (Charlie Sheen) is an advisor to the US president who finds himself the target of an assassin. Why? Well, for the vast majority of the film, your guess is every bit as good as mine, though it is pretty clear who. His only way to survive is to go to ground, and with the help of his boss "Conrad" (Donald Sutherland) and good old "Sarah Connor" herself Linda Hamilton, get to the bottom of things. It's really quite a dull movie this. Sheen is out of his depth as an action actor, he tries to hard to convey some sense of his perilous predicament, but he just isn't good enough to pull it off. The supporting cast of steady B-listers offer little of distinction either before an ending that is, frankly, silly. It's well enough made, just nothing much to write home about.
