Selling sin is easy.
Actually, this is a favorite Eastwwod film. Not only does Clint do a good job in this film, but also I am not too fond of Gene Hackman, and I like seeing him get his due.
Eastwood plays a cat burglar - a really good one. He hit a mansion where the owner is out of town. He finds a secret safe that has one way glass and a chair. Now, here is where it gets a little far fetched. The President shows up with the wife of the owner. She skipped the trip. Eastwood is in the safe watching the action. Does the owner also do that? Kinky. Oh yes, the owner is old (E.G. Marshall) and is wife (Melora Hardin from The Office) is young and hot. Well, things go wrong and the Secret service is cleaning up the mess and they discover that someone else was there. To the chase!
Eastwood's relationship with his daughter (Laura Linney) plays an important part and provides some of the most interesting scenes. Other very interesting scenes are provided by Judy Davis (Husbands and Wives, A Passage to Idia) as one of the Secret Service agents.
Ed Harris, Scott Glen and Dennis Haysbert also add to the story. It is worth two hours of your life just to see all these stars in one film.
