Summary: Possibly the worst movie of the year
Review: I saw this movie last night together with my lovely wife. I venture to state that this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The story is flawed, boring and extremely predictable. The fact that Schwarzenegger's performance was very poor did not sursprise me at all. He is considered to be one of the worst actors in Hollywood, and I share this view. It is beyond my comprehension that Hollywood still produces action movies of this kind. "One man against the world" concept is extremely ridiculous and obsolete. In order for a movie to be entertaining, it somehow has to capture the viewer's attention. Furthermore, it should be unpredictable and feature talented actors. Collateral Damage has none of these essential features. In light of this criticism, I strongly discourage people from renting this movie. On the contrary, I think you should be payed to see it! Judge for yourself!

Summary: kinda UNBELIVEABLE!!
Review: The dvd transfer is great. The dolby 5.1 soundtrack is great. The story is not so great. Ah-nold is letting his ego run wild to think an average fireman could stealth through the columbian jungles and outwit highly trained commandoes and u.s. agents,plus the trained fighters of the bad guys all in a forgien country he knows nothing about. In reality he would have been killed in quick order and dissposed of. He is also showing his age yet he still pounds all the 20 year old punks that get in his way! Why, all the worlds goverments couldnt stop the "wolf" yet ah-nold brimgs em down to thier knees with out bustin a sweat. And at the end the F.B.I. carries him to the statue of liberty and cries out his name AH-NOLD... AH-NOLD...AH-NOLD!

Summary: Yawwwwwn
Review: We have come to expect "action films" to have poor scripts, stories and dialog, but they MUST have good action sequences. The action scenes here were about as exciting as watching paint dry.Arnie, you can be back when you find a real movie.

Summary: Left me feeling kind of flat
Review: I bought this movie hoping for a well done action thriller and was disappointed. The movie is about a fireman who watches his family die when a Colombian terrorist detonates a bomb in a cafe. The fireman decides to pursue the terrorist into the heart of the rebel held Columbian jungle. While the special effects in this movie are ok (there are lots of explosions), they are not enough to really grip the audience. The plot is not intricate enough to make it interesting. Nor are any of the characters really interesting enough for the viewer to form strong feeling about them. In an action movie, it usually helps to have a strong villian with black and white morality. However, this movie introduces a terrorist who starts out really bad (blows up the hero's family) but who isn't necessarily all that bad since the US (via the CIA) supports evil people in his home country. I found this "balancing out" message about seeing everyone's perspective to really mess up the overall pacing of the film. I did not really enjoy this movie and will be selling my DVD used.

Summary: Arnie to the rescue...AGAIN?!?!?!?
Review: A terrorist explosion at a city café must be avenged, and they expect us to believe that Arnie is the one to go all the way to Columbia to save America, with the unlikely aid of the bomber's wife. This unusually ambitious but embarrassing action yarn tries to create explosive entertainment using a very serious issue, and a predictable 'plot twist' and a finale involving an explosion at a Federal building which takes the emergency services a good fifteen minutes to respond to doesn't even come close to being worth your time.

Summary: A New Low for Action Films
Review: From the terrible acting, laughable script, and thrilless action sequences "Collateral Damage bring a new low for the genre of action films. This would be revenge tale of a man taveling to Columbia to find the terrorist responsible for the bombing that killed his wife and child is not only incoherent it is also a text book example of how not to make a movie. Never mind the sensitive issue of terrorism, post 9-11, this film make a mockery of the subject of terrorism rather then a legitemate or even controversial piece onthe subject. This is a film even the most dedicated fan of Arnold could not enjoy. ...

Summary: I still liked the movie
Review: I really liked this movie(compared to Arnold's reacent works). The only thing I seem to remember about the movie, however is when he pulled a Mike Tyson on that one guys ear.

Summary: One of the best Arnold movies in a long time.
Review: I found this to be one of the best movies Arnold has made in a long time. Probably the best since Terminator. Unfortunately the movie was slated to come out last fall, and since it is based on a terrorist plot, it was yanked from the lineup after 9/11. The premise of the movie is a group of terrorists fighting in Columbia. They bring their war to the USA to show Americans what the US is doing in Columbia. Unfortunately for them they end up making Arnold mad!! You can imagine the rest from here. With virtually all action flicks, there is little depth to the movie. So if you don't expect any background on why there are rebels in Columbia, and just want a good action flick, then this is it!

Summary: Retirement, always a good option
Review: Badly acted and offensively timed, "Arnie" needs a retirement plan. Action was weak, and left this reviewer remembering September 11, 2001. Does anyone remember 'Last Action Hero' and how all of the promotional material needed to be returned and redesigned due to the basement bombing at the WTC? I think perhaps this movie should have been shelved and unreleased based on that previous experience. I fear the release of 'Terminator 3.' Buy it if you collect, avoid if you don't

Summary: Very Good...Not Average Arnold...
Review: I rented this movie thinking it was gonna be basically a remake of Commando(probably my 2nd favorite movie ever) from the trailer. To my surprise it was nothing like it. Arnold doesn't fire a single bullet the entire movie. He thinks his way through the movie MacGyver-style and though it's slightly disappointing to the explosion-loving fan it's quite entertaining. The plot is very good and really makes you think about who's right in the terrorist scene. The ending is superb and is possibly the best ending of any Arnold movie besides Eraser. A must see for Arnold fans and for anyone who likes action.
