Plots(1)
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as a lone Los Angeles fireman whose wife and child are killed by a terrorist bomb in this eerily prescient action drama. Vowing revenge against the Columbian guerilla leader who set the bomb, Gordy Brewer (Schwarzenegger) heads down to Central America where he is soon caught in a crossfire between the terrorists and a cadre of CIA operatives led by hard-nosed agent Peter Brandt (Elias Koteas). Escaping prisons, diving off waterfalls, and biting off ears, Gordy seems unstoppable until he realizes his target has a wife and child of his own, and moral confusion sets in.

A tired topic, but I have a weakness for Andrew Davis because of The Fugitive. The setting is exotic and Schwarzenegger is decent. Moreover, it is evident that no expense was spared on the technical side, so if not from the inside, the film can be appreciated from the outside.

Arnie, let me give you a piece of advice: give up and focus your energies on becoming maybe the President of the USA. You don't need to keep proving you were the greatest action hero, you’ll always be that in our hearts, provided you avoid the mistakes of the past year. Otherwise, you'll go down as a sniveling old action star who tried acting, and that would be a great shame.

Arnold is sitting, with a bitter expression on his face, and repeatedly utters sentences like "I saw you there, you were there, you did it" or jumps through the jungle and other antics. But while this used to work quite well before, here I was just sitting in front of the screen, in distress, lamenting the destruction of the action icon. A farewell embarrassment that thankfully was corrected a year later by Mostow with the third Terminator.
