Absolute Power
This movie has a 0% Approval Rating Based on 0 Reviews Read Reviews
Luther Whitney (Clint Eastwood), a highly skilled thief who finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, witnessing the murder of a woman involved in a secret tryst with the U.S. president Allen Richmond (played by Gene Hackman).
Determined to clear his name, Whitney cleverly eludes the tenacious detective Seth Frank (Ed Harris) while investigating a corruption of power reaching to the highest level of government.
Adapted by veteran screenwriter William Goldman from David Baldacci's novel, this thriller balances expert suspense with well-drawn characters and an intelligent plot that's just a pounding heartbeat away from real White House headlines.
