An object lesson in how to make violence aesthetically interesting, but it is a pity the director cannot do the same with the plot or the characters; the narrative is implausible and the people little more than automatons equipped with a couple of vaguely

Good old Pop Corn Stuff
If you want intelligence it is not here! If you want good old put your feet up feed me some action and a few thrills this is the one for you. In my opinion one of JVs first iconic bad man performances, which gets even better in 'Swordfish'. CS gives a reasonable performance and Mathis provides some nice eye candy.... I liked the pace of this thriller and it provides a few twists and turns along the way.

It's OK
Broken Arrow is a movie that is less the sum of it's parts - those parts being J. Travolta and C. Slater who both give it all they've got but unfortunately it isn't enough to suspend any credibility at all where the plot is concerned. If one can call it a plot. An odd assortment of jerky scenarios welded together with much gung hoing and macho acting.
If it's raining and it's Sunday and you've absolutely run out of things to do then this movie will certainly fill a spot. It's OK but that's about it. -
