Loved the Rob Ford caption! Also think it's a real nice photo from the islands. Looks like a painting.

Perhaps the movie would have been better if David Rasche played the President as his Sledge Hammer! character?

saw it in theaters, it was pretty awful, but seeing toronto did sort of make up for that.

I wonder if the Toronto factor will make up for the fact that this seemed like such a mediocre presidential-assassination thriller.

Seeing this, the 1980 film starring William Shatner The Kidnapping of the President popped into my mind. It was filmed entirely in Toronto with much of it taking place in Nathan Phillips Square. That film may be the first Hollywood film to stage scenes in Toronto-as-Toronto.
