Yes, I should have mentioned Kim. She plays the First Lady, who is having an affair with Douglas's character. She's an excellent actress, as you surely know.
I'm not awfully fond of Douglas as an actor. He always seems to play himself, very aware that he is the star. And I think he overemotes, although emoting strongly seems to be about half the secret to being a successful actor/actress.
I do think he did fairly well in, Basic Instinct, although at times he evoked Sharon Stone's character's comment that authors have to achieve "suspension of disbelief" to get readers to accept some things in plots.
If you haven't seen, "The Sentinel", rent or buy it. I paid $5.99 in the bargain bin at a local used movie store, and think it was indeed a bargain.
I do wish that the scenes in Toronto had shown more of the RCMP and Toronto police, as local color. I'm sure that'd have pleased Canadian viewers, too.
Oh: "suspension of disbelief" again: Douglas was wounded by Sutherland's character but seemed to have recovered almost immediately!
Only happens in movies and on TV.
