Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Highly recommended
Review: "Live Wire" is a very good movie, a must for all Pierce Brosnan fans. There was a lot of violence, but it's a movie about violence, so I suppose it's to be expected. If you liked Brosnan before he was Bond, then get this video.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: BOMB
Review: "Live Wire" wasn't able to make it into the theaters. That's because this is strictly second rate. The storyline alternates between being laughable and being predictable. Pierce Brosnan portrays a bomb expert who usually works for the FBI but also does some side work for the local police. His marriage is on the rocks because he allowed their young daughter to drown in the pool. How nice. The incident is shown only in flashback and seems almost trivial the way in which it is presented. Brosnan ends up becoming involved with an investigation into exploding politicians. Yup...that's right. Certain senators end up combusting in a big way after drinking what appears to be water. The end of the movie borrows more than a little inspiration from the TV show "MacGyver". This movie never really finds its place and contains your standard action sequences and rather poor special effects. Brosnan is much more impressive as Bond.

Summary: One hot movie
Review: Anybody who is a fan of Pierce Brosnan should definitely get a copy of the Unrated Version of Live Wire. It's worth the price of the movie just for the hot love scenes(and I mean hot!) between Pierce and Lisa Eilbacher.. .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Really Suprised
Review: As I was flipping through channels one night, I came across this movie just as it started (opening title) I was about to turn it off, and I started watching the first few minutes. I coudnt believe this movie grabbed my attention so quickly. I soon realized this movie was really good and watched the whole thing. My wife, being a Brosnan fan loved it too. So we bought a copy for our collection. This one is worth a look.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: James Bond here I come
Review: Being a huge Bond fan, I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. Although scientifically impossible, the story had enough comedy, action and suspense to make it worth watching. I don't think it compares to Brosnan's performance as 007, but it was a worthy audition for the spy-like role. Check out Live Wire...then see all the Bond flicks...they're worth it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fast Paced Brosnan is capable of action
Review: Great action well delivered by pierce Brosnan you can tell this guy is made for the role of James Bond. Brosnan has all crediabillty and belvabillty in presenting his character to the viewer. Brosnan Plays an ex-bomb expert turned FBI Agent who is puzzeld when people are just suddenly exploding all over the place and finds out that just before the victim`s explode they drink a glass of water laced with a silver coated explosive all courtesy of a terroist out to get revenge on crooked senators that cut him out of a $50 millon arms deal. The explosive premise was a great way to get the viewer`s attention and thanks to Brosnan`s great physical and acting talent this was the perfect role to show anyone who were skeptical of seeing Brosnan in the role of 007 proved them wrong because he did an outstanding job.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Just and ok movie
Review: I enjoyed this movie, but I guess my expectations were a little too high. The idea was interesting (the exploding acid stuff), but the plot could have been improved upon. Brosnan did a good job, though. Too much stuff about the wife with that other guy and his dead daughter. Made the movie drag. Besides that, it was decent at best. Nothing spectacular.
