Broken Arrow (1996)

Broken Arrow is The Peacemaker with Christian Slater instead of George Clooney and John Travolta instead of Aleksandr Baluyev. This is after Pulp Fiction and before Swordfish and Be Cool -- John's become a bad boy with an attitude (and a nuclear weapon)! Christian is his former copilot, the boy scout who will fight to the end to stop him. He's assisted by Samantha Mathis instead of Nicole Kidman, but she'll scrap to get the upper hand too. Sure, the plot has holes big enough to drive a train or fighter jet through at times, but I think it's a sufficiently exciting suspension-of-disbelief movie (like Hollow Man or The Cliffhanger) that's always worth a watch. You've got to respect a baddie who has planned ahead for every contingency, just so he can be snide and/or lethal about getting what he wants! 3 stars.
