Bill's Comments

Can you believe a Schwarzenegger action movie where he doesn't even fire a gun? This is a strange movie for Arnold. After his wife and child are blown up by a terrorist's bomb, he sets out on a vendetta to get the terrorist. He is a fireman by occupation --- and has nothing to do with the FBI, CIA, or the Military. And yet, he decides that he is going to Columbia (he speaks NO Spanish) to avenge his loss. I have really enjoyed some of Arnold's movies, but there are others that have left me cold. This one is somewhere in between. He means well, but the story line just doesn't seem plausible enough to draw me into it. I couldn't recommend it to my friends. It's not the worst movie out there, but there are quite a few that are better.
