Peacemaker, The (1997)

The slo-mo explosion jump. The cornerstone of any effective action film.

JB: Highly underrated thriller. Nuclear weapons run amok in one of those countries in risk that no one ever wants. But one escapes! And ends up in New York! And for some reason they try and stop it! This movie has well thought out action scenes and was kept at a consistent and engaging pace. George Clooney gains more respect playing the hard nosed army type (see also Three Kings) and it's always pleasant to have a movie with high sexual tension between two characters that ISN'T acted upon. Sometimes.....

Shawn: Great tense war-games movie that rushes along at a turbo laxative pace. Intelligent, unpredictable story and characters, and solid acting make this one a great watch. Clooney suits the role of army tough guy a lot better than guy in bat suit.
