Sorry, this movie sucks

Really Surprised!

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Collateral Damage (2002): Dir: Andrew Davis / Cast: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elias Koteas, Francesca Neri, Cliff Curtis, John Leguizamo: Refers to the absent-minded attitude often regarded towards victims of tragedy. Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a firefighter who witnesses his wife and son become victims of an explosion that was meant for a public figure. He awakens in a hospital after being struck by a car then realizes that he had spoken to the terrorist briefly before the incident. He ventures to Columbia with vengeance in mind resulting in a complete lack of common decency. A sequence where Schwarzenegger goes down a waterfall looks too lame for words. Director Andrew Davis showed great skill when he made The Fugitive but here he rushes too quickly into action scenes. Schwarzenegger grunts and groans his way through complete absurdity before emerging as the hero. Elias Koteas is cardboard as a cop. Francesca Neri plays the terrorist's wife. Cliff Curtis plays the terrorist whose prime focus is to be Schwarzenegger's punching bag before the film's end. John Leguizamo appears to be part of his worst film since The Pest. Whatever the so-called message may be, this film exists primarily to showcase implausible action and as much violence as one film can possibly contain. The result is a film that should suffer collateral damage. Score: 1 / 10

I love Arnold he is one of the best action hero in the world specially in terminator series even commando is better then this any day i saw this film last year got disappointed there are several reasons for it too.First of all the film totally fails to excite the viewer in almost every way possible the pace is extremely slow the action comes too late in the climax but also lame the story is repeated many times the project could have been executed better but script does not have much depth this is where it falls short the characters are running wild.The Plot:Gordy Brewer is a firefighter who is coming to meet his family but an incident happens they get killed in bomb blast in the city he decides to go to Columbia & finish the bad guys who are responsible for it.The Cast:Arnold looks out of shape uninterested but still gives his best as for Farencesca Neri she is one hot lady that got me hooked long enough until the credits roll.This came out in 2002 but filmed earlier this is even below average level then a Steven Segal movie to be honest,Arnold can be seem in unnecessary explosions & a cheesy climax tunnels exploding plus a hilarious looking villain i wanted to turn this film off but kept watching only for Arnold i wonder why he did this collateral damage took itself way seriously then it was this is the most boring Arnold Schwarzenegger film i have ever seen Andrew Davis directed under siege 1992 but the sequel is much better other then that none of the films he directed later created a solid impact neither on critics or audience.Overall Collateral Damage 2002 is only for die hard Arnold fans nothing more my rating is 2/10:Skipp It

This movie doesn't show anything right about Colombia, we're not drug addicts or bad people, as every country in the hole planet we have problems but is not that bad, is really ridiculous the way the show how we are, is just stupid that they thing that we are like that, I invite everyone to come here and see how nice we are. Not every person is bad here, just ask any person who has come and they will tell that is not as bad as it shows, we are good people, trust me, the movie just shows the bad part about and Colombia, like is normal all of what the movie shows, is wrong the idea that the others have about my country, is really really wrong.

For me this is a mixed package. On the other hand, I love Arnold Schwarzenegger. The man is the epitome of an action hero star with his questionable acting performances, stone-faced expressions and honest to god skills to pull of action scenes and make them believable. On the other hand, the script is terrible, the rest of the actors are wooden, the plot has holes the size of moon craters and in the end it's just not that interesting to follow.It has its moments, though. For one, Arnold plays a firefighter in this film, and it has been taken into account with the action scenes. There's less shooting ridiculously over-sized guns from the hip and more trap building and ingenuity, which I think is a welcome change to the Schwarzenegger formula. You still get the explosions and the kill count, but this time things blow up because Arnold went and built a bomb.The character of Selina (Francesca Neri) is also somewhat interesting to follow. She has layers to her and throughout the movie you end up questioning her motives and actions, which creates believable suspension. Not the best character I've ever seen, but serviceable, especially given the rest of the cast.But yeah, it's a stupid film. Does it have some perks? Yeah, it does, but they're not enough to outweigh the idiotic premise of a firefighter fighting international terrorists just to save his family. They're not enough to outweigh the poor acting or the lackluster dialogues. Still, it's an Arnold Schwarzenegger film. I cannot hate it that much, and if you're a fan of the man, you'll probably enjoy this film at least on some level.
