Despite the always interesting Gene Hackman, this assassination / conspiracy thriller is unacceptable. There are just too many convenient circumstances that move the story forward without the necessary credibility. In addition, character development, other than Hackman, is seriously lacking. What you are left with is a muddled storyline and a confusing storyline, that lacks the intrigue required to maintain interest. It was nice to see John Heard in a supporting role, and overall the acting is good enough, but I cannot recommend "The Package." Although there are a few exciting moments, they are not tied together well enough to maintain interest, and that is unacceptable in my opinion. ............................. - MERK
