Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Jayden-Lee Thomson One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

slightlymad22 Continuing my plan to watch every movie in Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography in order, I come to Collateral Damage.Plot In A Paragraph: After his family is killed in a terrorist bombing, a firefighter (Arnie) goes in search of the man responsible.Like with End Of Days and The 6th Day, I have never cared to revisit this movie, since my first viewing. After watching it now, I remember why!! I know reediting of the movie after 9/11 will be to blame for some of it, but the movie is a mess. Arnies happy family man acting is again painful to watch, the man just can't act happy!! It's just too forced!! In his autobiography Total Recall, Arnie says how the movie was meant to be released on 5th of October 2001. But after 9/11 it's release was cancelled and the movie reedited, to delete an airline hijacking amongst other things. When it was finally released, he said it felt irrelevant and called it painful to watch. Collateral Damage ended the year the 66th highest grossing movie of 2002, with a domestic gross of $40 million.

adonis98-743-186503 Many people hated this film i happen to love it it was amazing i think the trailer made it clear that the movie is mostly action and less drama what did they expect to see? Collateral Damage has a great performance by Schwarzenegger and the cast did a good job i think but i would prefer some of the villains were a little bit more stronger and more badass instead of weak and too easy to kill but still they were good. The Drama parts were really good and i enjoyed the ending it was good to see Gordy get some happiness to his life. Overall Action Movie Lovers and Arnold Fans will love this movie i know i did a pretty cool action film.

SnoopyStyle A bomb explodes outside of the Columbian consulate in L.A. Firefighter Gordon Brewer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) loses his wife and young son. The terrorist El Lobo who's real name is Claudio Perrini (Cliff Curtis) is responsible. A terrorist sympathizer calls Brewer's family collateral damage. CIA Columbia Chief Peter Brandt (Elias Koteas) is angered when senators terminates CIA operations and start peace talks. Brandt returns to CIA station Mompós while Brewer plans to sneak into the country. Brewer is hunted by all sides and is arrested. He is befriended by Canadian Sean Armstrong (John Turturro) and escapes with him when rebels breakout their comrades from jail. Using Armstrong's pass, Brewer infiltrates rebel territories to work for cocaine facility manager Felix Ramirez (John Leguizamo).Arnold faces a major problem. The story is too real and he's playing an everyman. The plan, such as it is, is too stupid. An American with terrible Spanish walks into the country to blindly wing it. It is too unbelievable and Arnold doesn't have the everyman persona anyways. The movie tries to be real except Arnold is too unreal and the situation is too unbelievable.

FlashCallahan Gordon Brewer is plunged into the complex and dangerous world of international terrorism after he loses his wife and child in a bombing credited to The Wolf. Frustrated with the investigation and haunted by the thought that the man responsible for murdering his family might never be brought to justice, Brewer takes matters into his own hands and tracks his quarry ultimately to Colombia.....After the horrific events in New York, this film was always going to fail. But it's not the film, nor anyone involved with the films fault. It was just plain bad timing.Take these specific elements away, and what you have is Arnold's best film of the noughties. There isn't many to choose from, but compared to The Sixth Day, and Terminator 3, this is really good stuff.What I believed irked many though was the fact that this wasn't The old Arnold we knew and loved. Gone were the one liners, gone were the muscle bound antics and Arnold being invulnerable, this was a step in a totally different direction, and it drove many away.The premise is pure Schwarzeneggar, but with such a tough subject matter, you can't really have a grieving father and husband quipping in every instance.The support are fantastic, Curtis is on form as usual, and Tutorro and Leguizamo make some bizarre but good cameos.it's not the action film you would expect from star and director, but it's a solid thriller, with a great performance from Arnold.Just don't expect the man from the eighties.
