I’d like to say that this is good escapist fare, but the violence (17 killed by gunfire, 6 killed by knife, 7 killed by broken neck, a man is tortured, many karate battles) and revenge make it difficult to recommend for family viewing. It has elements of “Mission Impossible,” “Wild, Wild West” and “The A-Team,” but where those shows incorporated wit and suspence, “The President’s Man” relies on countless killings to liven the script. This TV-film gives us not one, but two stone-faced heroes that make “Dragnet’s” Joe Friday look animated. And although he is fighting for justice and the American way, revenge also motivates McCord.
