It’s sort of exciting despite never bothering much with a script or any fresh ideas. The characters are fairly one-dimensional and it’s arguably quite racist, too. There are visual and thematic hints of Apocalypse Now, but without any of the sophistication or flair of that film. And when Arnie has to show emotions – as this plot demands – not very much happens.
Another almost-obsolete format, DVDs – like CDs – are cheaper than ever in charity shops. One pound or 50p for two hours of entertainment represents amazing value for money. Here are my brief reviews of some of the films I saw...
Collateral Damage (2002)
Action thriller. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a fireman whose wife and son are killed by a Colombian terrorist known as The Wolf (Cliff Curtis). Inevitably, Arnie takes the law into his hands to seek revenge, travelling into the heart of the Colombian guerrilla operation and teaming up with The Wolf’s wife (Francesca Neri) and son.
