This document links up the Presidents campaign office with the possible source of the murders.
The cinematography is okay, but not spectacular.
Roberts and Washington put in okay performances, but they are nothing near what they are both capable of.
In this case, though, they are hampered by the material.

As a movie, this is definitely just a two star.
The transfer of print to Blu-ray is good.
Compared to the DVD, the Blu-ray image is cleaner, crisper and has far more natural-appearing colours.
Blacks are well represented.
Thats not to say that the image is perfect.
Backgrounds in some of the shots are softened off, whilst other areas appear very sharp.
Sound is excellent in places, but is again limited by the material.
Voices are clear, the sound stage is perfect and the little amount of music used is placed well.
Its a good quality mix, far better than the movie really deserves.
ExtrasThis bit is easy.
Apart from the original movie trailer, there are no extras.
Even a voiceover would have improved the rating.
So there we have it.
I would love to have rated this as a decent movie, but it isnt.
Its not a bad movie, just mediocre, and this Blu-ray edition is a disappointment.
In fact, just stay away anyway.
