Sadly, Sheen doesn't even look profound. Like a zombie who's spent too much time in the gym, he blunders heavily from one stunt to the next, his pursed lips conveying nothing more than pique.

Reviews for The Shadow Conspiracy
This is the sort of film in which informants are shot in the head from across the street just as they are about to reveal the name of the traitor behind the scheme.
The climactic assassination attempt... is so ridiculous there's only one real danger: that the president (and the audience) will laugh to death.
The film is so contemptuous of its audience it doesn't even bother to present a surface resemblance to reality.
There isn't a brain in its empty little head, or in its assembly-line story, which is about how Charlie Sheen pauses occasionally between ludicrous action scenes, some of them ripped off from better films.
