    Patrick Stewart plays Mace Sowell, a retired government operative who possesses damaging information about a presidential hopeful, and holes himself up inside his secure compound because he fears reprisal. In order to protect himself, Sowell has designed a system whereby the information will be released to the public if he is not there to type in a password at regular intervals. This he believes will keep him from being assassinated, but just in case, he stages elaborate self-defense drills with unwitting servants, and tries to convince his family that the explanation he gave them about his career was a cover story to hide his true military affiliations. The problem is, Sowell is also suffering the early stages of Alzheimer's, so his daughter (Joy Kilpatrick) considers his paranoid stories to be delusional ravings. She hires a psychiatrist (Kimberly Williams) to analyze her father and watch over him, in the hopes of easing his dementia. Sowell initially distrusts his new companion, but begins to lower his guard and care for her deeply. Meanwhile, his disease is advancing, and if he can't remember the password, his critical information will be released prematurely and he'll be hunted down by his enemies. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

    August 02, 2009: Patrick Stewart does a good job in this role which is quite different from his role in Star Trek. Really suspenseful and keeps you guessing until the end.

    September 21, 2007: Patric Stewart has a bushel of great performances to his credit, but this one is probably my favorite. The story weaves a spiderweb of confusion and danger around the personality and past experiences of an aging agent from the world of shady operations. Is he crazy, or not? Is there a deadly threat from a rising-star politician with a shady past, or is it all in the confused mind of the aging father (Patrick, suspected by his family of loosing contact with reality), or is it both? A fast-paced trip into a common problem faced by all families. An excellent story performed by an outstanding cast. One of the excellent few that deserve a place in the home library.
