About
You’ll likely enjoy this 90s-style action thriller if you want high-energy pursuit and larger-than-life villain swagger from Broken Arrow’s kind of cat-and-mouse setup; Not for you if you dislike bombastic, over-the-top action like Crimson Tide or Air Force One.
Pros: charismatic lead performances; relentless action thrills; big-budget rollercoaster fun | Cons: cheesy dialogue moments; far-fetched plot elements; uneven by Woo standards
