Smart, well done, engaging film


I'm watching this for the umpteenth time on my DVD. I think it tends to get lost in the shuffle of well done action films. All the actors did a fantastic job, and the story is believeable. Just wanted to through in my two cents. Kidman and Clooney were well paired.

i hate to just repeat what's been said BUUT... i too just saw this again recently and i gotta agree.. Kidman and Clooney WERE well paired and this was a fantastic movie .. smart, well done and engaging! it's just as good as under seige with danzel washington.. if you liked this, i think you'd like that. the same sort of concept ... you know? no 'easy' answers but many interesting questions ... though under seige had much more of those.. it was a slightly more thought provoking film than this .. both v well done tho :) i think i'm gonna go watch under seige!

b.e.
EDIT: OOPS.. i'm such a knob. under seige is a dumb movie with that idiot actor who's like arnold but he's not?! .. anyway. .i was referring to THE seige! :)

ever drifting down the stream/lingering in the golden gleam/life, what is it but a dream?

Of all of the films I've seen or haven't seen of Mr. Clooney's, THE PEACEMAKER is by far his best in my opinion. The film over all, is amazing, as it bridges the gap between the coldwar past and a threatening, what-if, however inevitable, future, which is now our present.

I thought Marcel Iures did exceptionally well.

I loved this movie. Seen it three times. The naysayers and trolls like to nitpick about crap that really doesn't matter, but you get those on every board.

"The Peacemaker" is an exciting, intelligent thriller about issues that effect us now.
