Actors Gail O’Grady, Jesse Kove (“Cobra Kai”), David Chokachi (“Baywatch”) and Paul Logan star in the new action film “President Down,” which is available to stream on Tubi.
Nick Lyon directed the gripping movie from a screenplay by Kenny Zinn.
The synopsis is: A secret message warning that the President’s pacemaker is compromised sends her team scrambling to stop an unseen enemy demanding $100 million by midnight.
Gail O’Grady commands each scene she is in as the female Commander in Chief President Kat Collins, where viewers can recall McKenzie Westmore (“Passions”) meets Gena Davis, while Lorenzo Lamas is impressive as Jim Goddard.
Jesse Kove delivers one of his most subtle and natural performances to date as Jacob Pike, and he has solid chemistry with the lovely Gina Vitori (who plays Amelia Collins), and their affecting rapport allows for more resonance.
David Chokachi is appealing as Tom Marcus, while Paul Logan is bold and badass as Breacher. Everybody
