The premise of the movie seems clear to me:
There is a Irish immigrant living in the USA who is stalking a person affiliated with the Boston Police Bomb Squad because he married a very beautiful and very musical Irish woman. That Irish immigrant, who had ties to the Irish terrorist group called the IRA, was trying to bring Boston into fear by creating a short-scale wave of bombings in Boston as well as stalking that police member.
This is what basically the flick is about.
Well, the only problem is that the movie is not exciting until the very end of it. Little does the bomb squad person know that his wife's car was rigged with a bomb. She was going to ride the car after she plays in the Boston Pops 4th of July Spectacular at the Esplanade.
Suzy Amis (who plays Katy Dove in the film) was in the Boston Pops Orchestra as a violin player in the 4th of July Spectacular. Her appearance in the violin section almost reminded me of Rachel Barton--the newest quintessential icon of American violin playing who is now extremely famous.
The orchestra reaches the climactic ending of the 1812 Overture by Tschaikovsky. The crowd at the Esplanade--as well as the orchestra--- awaits the 4th of July fireworks that would come immediately after the overture is over. At that point, the husband rushes through 4th of July crowds and barricades on his police motorcycle to meet up with Katy as the overture music ends (as well as the concert) and the fireworks go off. Before that, I liked the part when one of the Dove's daughters in the concert seats said, "Where are the fireworks?", and Dove's mother says that they will be coming soon.
As Katy goes back to her car with her family, his husband warns her not to use the brakes because the bomb was rigged in the car, and the bomb would blow the car up if she slows down. This is almost like the flick "Speed". The husband then goes into her car at full speed and finds the main trigger for the bomb in a shape of an illuminated puppet doll. He does pulls off half of the doll (which happens to be the main trigger for the bomb) and finally he does his job, and the lady puts on the brakes and fortunately the car does not explode.
How can he do that? I never heard anyone trying to disarm a bomb rigged in a car going at full speed...
