Rating: 3/5 --
Travolta is camp, but the action is cool in true John Woo style.

...Audacious action scenes....Rewind...to savor the stunt work... -- Rating: B+

...[Woo] is one of the most fluidly cinematic filmmakers working today, gifted with a thorough grasp of the mechanics of action...

Rating: 3/4 --
A perfectly entertaining, exciting, and competently made action thriller, [but] it can't help but be somewhat of a letdown.

This is a promising premise, but somehow Broken Arrow never really sinks in its teeth and takes it seriously. Consider, for example, the scene where we discover Travolta is not what he seems. He turns to Slater in the cockpit and... narrows his eyes.

An inane thriller for those with a penchant for films that nuke themselves on purpose.

Product Description:
"Broken arrow" is a military term for a nuclear warhead that has been stolen -- and villainous Air Force pilot Vic Deakins (John Travolta) has done just that. In fact, he's pilfered TWO bombs, in an effort to extract a huge amount of cash from the government in exchange for their safe return. However, there's a fly in the ambitious thief's ointment: Riley Hale (Christian Slater), Vic's former co-pilot, whom Vic thought he had killed when he robbed the bombs. Helping Riley is gutsy female Park Ranger Terry Carmichael (Samantha Mathis). Together the duo uses all the artillery, ammo, vehicles, and gumption they can muster, as they risk life and limb to thwart Vic and his vile gang. Hong Kong action specialist John Woo propels the film through trains, Humvees, exploding helicopters and more.
