IMDb Safe House (1998)

I rented it from Blockbuster and thought it was an interesting film because it involved interior shots that aren't done so much in this genre from what I've seen. It was a believable story, interesting because of the presentation of computer links that have become important and dangerous ("Carnivore" back then I think used to monitor Internet traffic, Sliwa's "Guardian Angels" watching chat rooms, the current Presidential "pardon" of "secret police tactics" makes the film almost prescient, i.e., a horror we were going to be a part of between "Our Man in Halcyon" (NY Times op-ed on President Bush on a medication that left FBI agents walking armed and forgotten through metal detectors) an impeachment over sex and another George Bush posing on a former German turkey farm in Texas, bought from proceeds of a baseball team CBS' CEO's brother wanted, but the Governor just had to have. I think the Chinese character in one edition of the I Ching I recall was #49 "Revolution" though perhaps Japanese (the computer screen access puzzle). Anyone know?

On another site it says Patrick Stewart made this film 1995/1996. http://nicky_smith.tripod.com/film.html
