He was where he shouldn't have been and saw what he shouldn't have seen. Now, who will believe the word of a career thief and ex-con Luther Whitney when he says he saw a woman killed - and that the man responsible is the U.S. President? Clint Eastwood portrays Whitney and directs this crisp, finely acted adaptation of David Baldacci's best-seller. Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Laura Linney and more top talents create well-rounded characters that intensify a constantly spiraling game of cat-and-mouse between Whitney, local police and the highest levels of Oval Office power. At steadily raising the stakes in thrillers, Eastwood is an absolute master.
