I
never
get
tired
of
seeing
this
movie.
I'm
so
glad
I
bought
the
DVD.This
is
a
model
what
an
action-suspense-politcal
thriller
should
be.
Basically
Clooney
and
Kidman
are
trying
to
track
down
stolennuclear
warheads
ripped
off
by
a
formenr
Soviet
general
and
for
sale
onthe
open
market.
I
can't
think
of
anything
I
disliked
about
this
movie.
The
plot
waschilling,
it
made
"Sum
of
all
Fears"
look
like
a
kids
cartoon
incomparison.
Clooney
and
Kidman
had
spectacular
chemistry
and
playedtheir
parts
to
the
hilt.
By
the
time
you
finish
this
movie
you'll
be
out
of
breath.
It
has
anightmare
inducing
beginning,
the
most
spectacular
car
chase
I've
everseen
in
a
movie
with
Clooney
ending
it
with
a
cold
and
hard
finish
asI've
ever
seen.
Watch
Kidman
through
this
whole
thing,
her
reactionsare
perfect.
Plus
the
terrorist
villan
was
not
some
faceless
unknown
manic
bentof
gratuitious
destruction.
You
actually
felt
for
the
villan,
maybeeven
understood
what
drove
and
motivated
him.
What
a
great
change
forthe
normal
way
these
guys
are
portrayed
in
films.
The
ending
is
pulse-pounding
sorry
to
overuse
that
phrase
but
itfits
perfectely.
Not
only
that
it
was
the
most
accurate
portrayal
ofdefusing
a
bomb
I've
ever
seen,
it
was
truly
edge-of-your-seat
stuff.They
did
none
of
that
"red
wire
-
green
wire"
sillness
you
see
way
toooften
in
films.
This
was
realistic
folks,
believe
me
it
was
veryauthentic.
So
much
so
I
can
understand
if
the
less
technically
orientedviewers
would
be
confused
with
the
climactic
ending
as
to
what
actuallyhappened.
But
it
was
realistic.
I
rate
this
even
a
better
film
than
Black
Sunday,
and
for
me
thats
saying
a
lot.
Heck
I
think
I'll
watch
it
again
later.
