The last action hero? Well, Arnold was once, like ten years ago. In a number of poor action films, Schwarzenegger hasn’t had the blockbusters like we saw in the ’80’s and the new millennium isn’t turning out that good either.
Collateral Damage had been delayed because of its terrorist plot and so on, and what made WB decide now was a better time than October is beyond me. Honestly, I think they should have kept this one in the tin for good. Arnold plays a firefighter who takes the law into his own hands as he attempts to get back terrorists who took his family from him.
The film is about as cookie cutter as an action movie gets. The film crawls along the screen so slowly that I started counting calories. I just hope the next Terminator restores our last remaining superhero of the screen.
