"Militia" (2000) --  Jeff Kober plays Tom Jeffries.

aka--"The Enemy Within." An HBO film starring Dean Cain, Frederic Forrest, and Stacy Keach.

Plot: The ATF is out to take down a dangerous militia group.  To do this, one agent must go undercover with the aid of an ex-militia member.  Once inside, the agent finds his "help" is playing a game of his own.

 

Character Synopsis:  Tom Jeffries is the right hand to one of the leaders of the militia ... good at following orders, a true believer.  As such, he is a danger to the ATF agent because they have met before, and Jeffries is not reluctant to kill the agent that shot his friend and leader.

Review: An okay movie with interesting plot twists ... better than most of this genre, but not outstanding.  To bad it is marred by a very flat performance from Dean Cain.  (How did anyone EVER think he was a really good actor?)  Frederic Forrest makes it interesting ... is he a bad guy, or isn't he?  And Keach is in excellent form as the perfectly reasonable voice for militia extremism.  Jeff does not have a large part, but it is an important part and he plays it convincingly.  At least he doesn't die until halfway through the movie. -- songbird
