'Live Wire' vs. 'Blown Away'


What's your pick ? IMO. "Blown Away" is way more superior to "Live Wire"... Jeff Bridges edges Pierce Brosnan since I find his character better written and better played. Even the villain is better in "Blown Away", Tommy Lee Jones delivers a fantastic performance.

- Anyway, which one you think is better ?

I've seen Blown Away a couple of times and Live Wire one time in the '90.
As I remember Blown Away is way more superior, I do agree! The both actors (Jeff Bridges & Tommy Lee Jones)were great!
I'm about to watch Live Wire tonight. I'm gonna give you my opinion tomorrow!

I fell asleep!

Blown Away is superior in every points.

In live wire... IMO, There's a evident lack of tension.

Yeap, I get your point. Live Wire feels cheap and not that interesting and I think that's thanks to a weak script and not that impressive direction either... At the end of the day LIVE WIRE ain't worthy to spend 90 mins. on it.

I desagree, live wire it's worth watching, of course, there is no comparison with blown away which is way superior, but live wire managed to be a good action movie with its limited budget, it's fun to watch Pearce Brosnan pre-bond
