Here's the plot... "After foiling an assassination attempt by an Islamic jihadist on President Reagan, Secret Service agents Richard Chance and Jimmy Hart are assigned as counterfeiting investigators in the Los Angeles field office. Days away from retirement, Hart stakes out a warehouse in the desert used by artist-turned-counterfeiter Eric "Rick" Masters and is killed by Masters and his bodyguard, Jack. Chance, who has earned a reputation for impulsive behavior, vows to his new partner, John Vukovich, that he will take Masters down by any means necessary." In addition to discussing the film, we'll be tasting and reviewing Laphroaig Willem Dafoe Limited Edition, a 14 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky that was finished in Oloroso Sherry Casks.
