First Target - Anschlag auf den Präsidenten

Daryl Hannah was much better than Merial Hemmingway as an agent even though they are both good actresses.Doug Savant returns as river guide Grant Carlson, who is on the verge of proposing to his girlfriend Agent Alex McGregor, but it's always a bad timing thing so he doesn't get the chance. A new group of agents work with Alex and they keep receiving death threats against President Jonathan Hayes again played by the gorgeous Gregory Harrison.Brandy Ledford gives a stunning performance as Agent Kelsey, who Alex always pushes around to toughen her up. Two assassins are hired by someone to make a perfect plan on killing the President, but first they intend to lure him to Seattle where they have people on the inside to help kill the President. A very handsome Aaron Grain stars as Evan, one of the assassins. Action packed sequel to First Daughter. I was looking forward on watching this and now I'll wait for the 3rd part! I just keep wondering why there isn't a love interest yet for the President since he did say in the first movie that he is a widower. I thought sparks would fly between him and Alex, but hey no such luck. It would be interesting to see that. This movie was good, but I don't think Daryl Hannah will be in the 3rd movie and it was also interesting to see the President trying to set Alex and Grant up.

Gregory Harrison and Doug Savant return as U.S. President and outdoors adventure guide, respectively, in this sequel to "First Daughter" (1999 TV). Daryl Hannah appears as the take-charge head of the President's Secret Service detail and Savant's love interest. This time, it's the president who's the target of one or maybe more assassins, and again it will be the outdoorsman, not the Secret Service, who facilitates the save. Naturally.

Almost to excess, there is treachery all over the place---the details won't be divulged here---but then you have to grudgingly admire the reaching. Consequently, dead bodies abound as the action takes off early and proceeds to its suspenseful conclusion. Production values are first rate.

In the end, this potboiler is a better way to kill time than most of its ilk. Let's hope that our country never faces the situation depicted here.

Watchers of technical details will wonder why a brand new aerial tramway has peeling paint; also, how you can have doors turning into splintered bullet-hole sieves without endangering participants in a Secret Service training exercise.

Good action TV movie that delivers what is expected of it.An action movie about the Secret Service defending a U.S.President.Nothing spetacular and not too cheesy either.Just consistent production delivery.Good to see Hannah portray an action role.Only for big fans of Hannah and TV action movies......

Not much to say for itself other than the fact that Darryl Hannah, and more importantly, Ona Grauer, are both in it. No pic of Ona here at IMDB, but there should be. This is blond deliciousness at its best: evil and sultry! Otherwise it has a bit of unbelievable action scenes with a weak plot line linking the secret service babe's (Hannah)boyfriend as the President's fishing buddy. Save it for a VERY rainy day!

First Target is a cute rewatchable TV movie that is 2nd in a series of 3 TV movies starring Gregory Harrison as the President. This is the only one of the series where the 2nd leading character Alex-(The head of the Secret Service' Protection detail for the President) is not played by Mariel Hemingway, but in fact by Daryl Hannah. The 2 other movies in the series are: First Daughter - 1999 and First Shot - 2002.
