Collateral Damage (DVD) Reviews

Gordon Brewer is a New York fire fighter and used to being able to save people's lives. This makes it even harder for him to cope when his wife and son are killed in a bombing just a few metres from where he stood (they are the collateral damage of the title). The bombing is credited to Claudio Perrini, a Colombian terrorist, known as 'The Wolf'. ...  Read the complete review

Sad though it may sound, there comes a time in an actor’s career when he really should give it a rest. Arnold Schwarzenegger has made a lot of films over the last two decades, with some veritable classics such as Predator and The Terminator that will leave his fans with fond memories. Nonetheless, like many before him, Arnie seems intent on ...  Read the complete review

Collateral Damage is the great and partially real action film in which Arnold Schwarzenger plays a fireman hell bent on getting his hands on the Terrorist who killed his wife and kid and many other citizens near a shopping mall. With the attacks on Sept 11 , movies have tried to cash in but Collateral Damage is different. Arnold ...  Read the complete review

This year Arnie returned to box office glory with T3, the role what made him came at the right time because his career beforehand was going downhill fast. The Sixth Day was a decent movie ruined by some limp direction, Collateral Damage on the other hand is a limp movie in pretty much every department.

The bomber is a Colombian rebel, called El Lobo (Cliff Curtis), who operates from a ...  Read the complete review

When terrorist struck America on September the 11th several films due for release were postponed and one of those was Collateral Damage. Released on February the 8th in the UK director Andrew Davies was said to rather optimistic about the delay. Myself I think they should have revisited the film and had a good look at the plot, as ...  Read the complete review

I watched a movie last night called Red Scorpion, a 1980s movie about one big muscly guy(Dolph Lundgren) fighting against indeterminable odds to see justice served against a bunch of bad guys. In that case they were Russians, Rambo had the same idea, in fact the 80s was littered with this kind of thing, Arnold Schwarzennegar was also amongst that ...  Read the complete review
