In the Line of Fire is a thriller with Clint Eastwood playing Secret Service Agent Frank Horrigan, a veteran agent who was part of the security detail when Kennedy was assassinated but is now relegated to lower level work with Treasury stuff and investigating wacko threats to the President.

But turns out there is a credible threat to the President. "Booth" (John Malkovich) who also takes a special interest in Frank because Frank failed to protect Kennedy. Frank is assigned to the advanced protection detail where he romances Agent Lilly Raines (Rene Russo), head of the detail, and possibly get his junior partner Agent Al D'Andrea (Dylan McDermott) killed because that's what happens to the newish partner.

Naturally Frank makes a couple of bad calls which almost gets him kicked off the detail. Now that his fellow agents doubt him can Frank stop Booth from assassinating the President?

It's still a fairly entertaining movie with good suspense. Eastwood has that "old but I can do action when I have to" attitude. Russo makes a good leading lady. Malkovich is appropriately scary. The climactic face-off is nicely done. Overall I'm glad I rewatched this film.
