Better than expected, but not as good as it needs to be
Collateral Damage threatens to become a good film on several occasions but never quite makes it. Partially it's due to the post 9/11 re-editing that played down the innocent civilian casualties in Arnie's quest for vengeance on Colombia terrorists, but more because it seems that the script was probably rewritten a few too many times to accommodate the Austrian Oak. Some swipes at the duplicity and counterproductive nature of American intervention in South America survive as the war hits home, but the film is ultimately content to turn its revolutionaries into cardboard fanatics (not to mention throwing in a ridiculous scene with a snake in case we don't get the point) and go for the big bangs. Still one of its stars better pictures of the last 12 or so years, though.

Not Arnold's best, but definitely one of his best!
This is a great movie. It follows a man named Gordy Brewer who wants a team of Columbian terrorists dead after they killed his wife and son. He gets into lots of fights as well as lots of trouble, all the while saving lives and joining teams. Soon, he saves another mom and son, only to find out later the mom is the terrorist leader who put all this together. He stops her & her sidekick from escaping, soon getting into a fight with both of them. It's a long, brutal and difficult battle, but in the end Gordy wins(what would you expect from Ah-Nold?)Anyway, if you like action movies or films about hope and care, then this is the film for you. It's not the very best, but it is good.

Absolutely horrid!
I have to admit that I enjoy Arnold's movies and even like the ones that are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UNREALISTIC like Commando. But, this one was absolutely horrid. The plot is lame, the action is lame, the suspense is lame, everything is lame. It was terrible! Arnold plays a firefighter bent on revenge after his son and wife are killed in an explosion. And of course, he kicks but. Anyway, I own this terrible movie and think about throwing it out of my window a lot. It's horrid!
It's not interesting, boring, repetitive and there is no suspense. Oh my gosh! Is the terrorist attack going to work? Of course not because Arnold the firefighter will save the world! I hated this terrible movie!
