Description

For this week’s episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John watched “Hidden Assassin” — also released under the name “The Shooter” — a 1995 action drama directed by Ted Kotcheff and starring Dolph Lundgren and Maruschka Detmers. In “Hidden Assassin,” Lundgren plays a U.S. Marshall, Michael Dane, tasked with arresting a woman, played by Detmers, suspected of assassinating the Cuban ambassador to the United States. Time is of the essence; the Secretary of State will meet with his Cuban counterpart in Prague — where the movie takes place — in an attempt to ease tensions between the two nations. But Lundgren isn’t so sure that Detmers’ character, Simone Rosset, is the shooter. What unfolds is a conspiracy that threatens Dane’s life and implicates some of his closest allies.The tagline for “Hidden Assassin” is “Seduction is a deadly weapon!” Which doesn’t have much to do with the actual movie.You can find “Hidden Assassin” to watch on Amazon Prime or for free on YouTube.Connor Lynch produced this episode.
