“In the Line of Fire” is a tense political thriller about a veteran Secret Service agent (played by Clint Eastwood) haunted by his past failure to protect President John F. Kennedy. When a highly intelligent and obsessive assassin begins targeting the current president, the agent is drawn into a psychological cat-and-mouse game. As the killer taunts him and exploits his guilt, the agent must confront his own demons while racing against time to stop another tragedy.
In this episode, I sit down with Dave Schutz, and we discuss his career in law enforcement in the Indianapolis Police Department, FBI, and current job in Executive Protection Detail. This episode is a bit different in a good way. We talk about how no one truly gets comfortable as a “Bullet Catcher”, how his career has changed some of his views on culture and politics, and how a routine traffic stop changed his view of certain people. Many things we discuss can be found in his book called, “And They Give Us Guns”. Many parts of the movie made the hairs stand up on Daves neck as they hit a bit too close to home. This movie is and action thriller that forces you to ask yourself the question, could I actually catch a bullet for someone else. I hope you enjoy.
