ZielinskiMichal321 Most people seem to hate this. I don't. The reason? It's an action- packed, thrilling roller-coaster of a ride from start to finish! That's why! John Travolta (Pulp Fiction, Phenomenon) plays Vic Deakins, a renegade pilot who plots to steal two nuclear bombs and hold the world to ransom. Standing in his way is his co-pilot Riley Hale played by Christian Slater (Interview With The Vampire) This film has everything: an edge-of-your-seat Humm-Vee chase through the Grand Canyon, nuclear weapons, evil baddies, surprises at every turn, exploding A-Bombs and lots, lots more! Also features a special appearance from Vondie-Curtis Hall (Miller from Die-Hard 2). I think this film really overshadows the likes of that abysmal Spider- Man.

mansonthismadting John Woo (Director of Face/Off) creates a dazzling array of frantic gun battles and gripping action centred around the duelling pair Slater and Travolta. Where else do you get to see a US Stealth Bomber crash into bits as slow motion shrapnel whips over the camera? The word 'cool' embodies the film's relaxed music, quirky humour, snappy one-liners and Woo's trademark visual candy. 'Broken Arrow', the US Military's term for a missing nuclear warhead, is the motivation of the plot as treachery and duels become the centre of the movie. Slater's desperately attempts to capture his co-pilot's bounty from the wreckage though Travolta is always one step ahead of his hapless former friend. Worth a watch... and then another!

jonathanmark-77048 Plot: Terrorists steal nuclear warheads from the U.S. military but don't count on a pilot and park ranger spoiling their plans.This is another movie that I don't get why people hate on it. This is the movie that introduced me to John Woo and got me into his filmography. Travolta is having a lot of fun as Deakins, Slater is very good as Hale who tries to stop Travolta from detonating the nuclear weapons. The supporting cast does a good job balancing the tone of the film with Samantha Mathis, Delroy Lindo, and Howie Long being the standouts. This has the best action of any of the John Woo films(yes, this beats Face/Off in my opinion). Woo is a master of action and uses it extremely well. This film also has one of my favorite action scores of all time by Hans Zimmer who captures the tone of the film beautifully.I personally feel this deserves the attention that Face/Off gets because this is more fun, but that's my opinion. If you've never seen this film I strongly recommend watching this if you want to watch a good popcorn flick.

SnoopyStyle Maj. Vic Deakins (John Travolta) and Capt. Riley Hale (Christian Slater) are tasked with flying the new stealth bomber on a low altitude test run with two real nukes. Colonel Max Wilkins (Delroy Lindo) is tasked with tracking them. While flying over Utah, Deakins tries to shoot Hale. Deakins ejects Hale and drops the nukes before crashing the plane. Pritchett (Bob Gunton) hired the group of ruthless mercenaries tracking the nukes. Park ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis) finds Hale and helps battle the bad guys. When the nukes are found missing, Broken Arrow is declared.This has some of the standard John Woo action. It's excessive and fun. I can do without his overuse of the Mexican standoffs but that's also his style. There is good stunt work and lots of explosions. Travolta proves that he can play the bad guy without a heart. Graham 'Speed' Yost finds a way to write another convoluted script that somehow works. This is more compelling that it has a right to be. It is a bit long. It needs to shorten the last bit on the train to make it more exciting. By the time Hale returns to his people, the movie needs to quickly blow up and wrap up.
