Murder at 1600 (1997)


Calamity in the White House, a movie motif on the increase after 1996s Mars Attacks and Independence Day, continues with this 1997 action mystery in which Wesley Snipes' get-in-there-and-do-it detective and Diane Lane's cool give-nothing-away Secret Service agent investigate the murder of a woman in a White House toilet cubicle and the pair of investigators go renegade, even breaking into the White House via its unsecured access tunnels, when they uncover a, yawn, conspiracy involving the President, the President's son, an international hostage situation, and a motive for murder that very strongly suggests - again - that film thinks women are completely disposable objects.

★★☆☆☆
