OK movie but a bit slow in spots. More violence and much more nudity would improve the plot.

This is a pretty good action flick. John Travolta plays an Air Force pilot who becomes a madman when he hijacks a nuclear missile to sell. Christian Slater is the good guy, also a pilot, who tries to stop him. This has plenty of action, fight scenes, explosions. They use trucks, planes, trains, etc. The desert and canyon settings are beautiful. Samantha Mathis plays a very likeable Park Ranger caught up in all of this and helper to the Slater character. It is a fairly short movie which helps it move along. Not a bad storyline either, kept me interested.
Fun with a big container of popcorn. June 16, 2008

Broken Arrow is a fun, action filled, check your brain at the door movie.
Comon folks, if you're looking for something intellectually stimulating you came to the wrong movie.
Action, action, and more action.
The direction is ok, the acting from two of Hollyweirds biggest has beens is ok.
All in all, it's just a good movie to watch when there's nothing else on the 800 cable channels which is very often.
Worth a rental, just don't expect Gone With The Wind.
Silly... but alright April 11, 2008

This is quite the implausible tale of a lone soldier taking down helicopters with a single bullet, nuclear bombs going off and not hurting anybody, and other things. It's a good movie if you're bored and hard-up for an escape from reality, but other than that it's not all that great in my opinion.
exhilarating action from John Woo March 2, 2008

a madman has stolen two nuclear warheads and threatens to detonate them
over a populated area if his demand for money is not met.that's the
gist of the story.it stars John Travolta,Christian Slater,Samantha
Mathis and Delroy Lindo,to name a few.it's a pulse pounding thriller
from John Woo(mission Impossible 2).there's obviously a lot of
action,and suspense,and the movie goes right down to the wire.John
Travolta is good,as is Christian Slater,but i really liked Samantha
Mathis,who i feel is and underrated actress.the action scenes are are
exhilarating,though admittedly over the top.but for thrills,you can't
beat it.for me,Broken Arrow is a 4/5
