Review of Deterrence

Deterrence (1999)
8/10
Would be a great play
29 June 2002
This is a very well written story, but it looks more like a play than a a movie. It's very well written and as others said, Kevin Pollack isn't particularly well cast as the president, but he does a valiant job at the attempt. Kevin Pollack is a great actor, but just isn't believable as a president of the United States.

Timothy Hutton and Sheryl Lee Ralph are terrific, especially Hutton. Both are well cast. Sean Astin is humorous, as usual.

While the movie is clearly low-budget and belongs in the play arena rather than movie arena, I still give it an 8 out of 10, based on story more than anything else.
