"A career thief witnesses a terrible crime which involves the president of the United States. 

Despite the almost fabulist paradox placement of the thief in the role of the hero and the honourable president as the villain, Absolute Power is surprisingly dull, predictable and underwhelming. It certainly doesn’t rank among the best works by Clint Eastwood."
