Résumés(1)
A Los Angeles, Gordy Brewer, vétéran des sapeurs pompiers, arrive avec quelques minutes de retard à un rendez-vous et assiste, impuissant, à un attentat à la bombe contre le Consulat de Colombie. Le terroriste visait une poignée de hauts dignitaires colombiens oeuvrant à la signature d'un traité de coopération avec les Etats-Unis. Parmi les victimes de cet attentat figurent des dizaines de passants innocents dont Anne et Matt Brewer, l'épouse et le fils de Gordy. Cet acte terroriste est rapidement imputé au dangereux criminel Claudio "El Lobo". Alors que l'enquête officielle piétine et que les autorités américaines n'ont pas l'intention de mettre la main sur le principal responsable, Gordy décide de venger la mort de ses proches en partant en Colombie sur les traces de Claudio.

A tired topic, but I have a weakness for Andrew Davis because of The Fugitive. The setting is exotic and Schwarzenegger is decent. Moreover, it is evident that no expense was spared on the technical side, so if not from the inside, the film can be appreciated from the outside.

Arnie, let me give you a piece of advice: give up and focus your energies on becoming maybe the President of the USA. You don't need to keep proving you were the greatest action hero, you’ll always be that in our hearts, provided you avoid the mistakes of the past year. Otherwise, you'll go down as a sniveling old action star who tried acting, and that would be a great shame.

Arnold Schwarzenegger spends most of the film sitting around with a bitter expression on his face, repeatedly uttering sentences like "I saw you there, you were there, you did it" or jumping through the jungle and other antics. But while this used to work quite well before, here I was just sitting in front of the screen, in distress, lamenting the destruction of an icon of action films. A farewell embarrassment that thankfully was corrected a year later by Jonathan Mostow with Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines.
