Overview

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. Action fans expecting typical brainless mayhem might be surprised to find emoting, ethical dilemmas and criticism of US foreign policy in an Arnold vehicle, but they needn't worry: he still finds time for plenty of bone-breaking and blowing things up before the credits roll.

Movie Reviews

Notes:
IN THEATRES: FEBRUARY 8, 2002 COLLATERAL DAMAGE was originally scheduled for release in October 2001. When the terrorist attack on New York's World Trade Centers occurred September 11, 2001, a larger-than-life poster for this film loomed over the Brooklyn Bridge. As pedestrians fled the crumbling building, pouring over the bridge into Brooklyn, many were caught in an ironic middle ground between Hollywood (Schwarzenegger, the terrorist-fighting fireman, illuminated by a fiery explosion) and reality (the horrific sight of the towers in flames.) The release of the film was delayed until February 2002 because of the sensitivity of its story.

Reviews:
"...It features a number of well-executed action set pieces..." - 04/01/2002 Sight and Sound, p.41


"...COLLATERAL DAMAGE does a solid job with its action sequences..." - 02/08/2002 Los Angeles Times, p.C16


"...A skillfully-made example of your typical Schwarzenegger action film..." - 03/17/2002 Chicago Sun-Times, p.5


"...Colors are capably delivered, with some rich green in the jungle scenes and plenty of golden flash behind the many explosions and fires..." - 03/04/2003 Hollywood Reporter, p.22-62
