Amazon.co.uk Review
Didn't the Arnold Schwarzenegger tough-guy role become outdated way back in the mid-90s? Aren't audiences tired of all this stuff by now? Collateral Damage would have you believe not. Within minutes we see the Austrian Oak in fire-fighter's uniform running to the rescue in cheesy slo-mo. Arnie's two-dimensional character seems a little archaic and so does the revenge-for-the-death-of-his-wife-and-child plot. Someone apparently thought that applying the politics of terrorism addressed in Proof of Life to the Arnie shootout genre was a good idea. Yet here even the Colombian bad guys' motivations seem muddled and hastily obscured under bullet-quick exposition. It's also no good trying to show the muscle man in a different light: so what if he mopes about with a tear in his eye for 20 minutes, we all know he's going to take the law into his hands soon enough. This he does with familiar gusto, of course. Fights and explosions ensue. Johns Leguizamo and Turturro provide comical cameos but add nothing more. The film's release was delayed so as not to offend anyone in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Who were they kidding? No-one ever took an Arnie movie seriously, least of all this one.

On the DVD: Collateral Damage on disc has a couple of documentaries that try to embellish the idea of Schwarzenegger's new on-screen persona, but neither succeed. The additional scenes deserved to be excised. The commentary from director Andrew Davis certainly hints at greater aspirations, but makes no apology for the lack of pay-off. There's supposed to be a DVD-ROM-only commentary from Schwarzenegger, too, but this reviewer couldn't find it anywhere. --Paul Tonks

4.0 out of 5 stars Good action, relevant plot and surprising ending, 16 Mar 2003
I have mostly enjoyed Arnold's movies, with some exceptions (such as Commando, Twins and the most terrible one where he - oh horror! - gives birth to a child).

To me at least it seems that Collateral Damage is both related with and an opposite of Commando; related because both movies have a revenge plot. Opposite because whilst the latter was characterised by amazingly bad acting and a predictable ending, the former both displays a convincing performance by Arnold and delivers a most surprising - if not shocking - finish.

The plot: I will not reveal too much here in case the reader is yet to watch this move, but the story begins with Arnold losing his family in a bomb blast set off by a terrorist. We witness Arnold's agony, the search for revenge, the captivity in a South American jungle, the friendship with the terrorist's family - and - the incredibly shocking ending.

I know that another review here says that the terrorist is portrayed in a way too sympathetic light, which makes it impossible to despise him as much as we despised the bad guy in Commando. I disagree. And very much so: One quality of Collateral Damage is that we get the impression that there is a human side to the terrorist; we start to understand/think that even his family opposes his evil plans and what he has become; we start assuming that a relationship is developing between Arnold and the terrorist's wife.

In other words, one gets an impression that the plot is taking a particular direction and that the ending will become logical and predictable. But not so! The movie takes us to the conclusion that you can trust no-one, and that nothing should be taken for what it is. And indeed, that fanaticism can override even natural human relations. In my opinion, that is no bad plot at all.

Let me put it like this: If you are looking for something with lots of killing and a banale plot (such as Commando) or explosive sci-fi (such as Total Recall and Terminator II), then Collateral Damage may be an unsuitable choice. But if you want to watch a solid performance by Arnold, an unusual plot and at the same time great action, then Collateral Damage may be what you are looking for.

I may be accused by some of entering deep waters now, but to some extent I would compare parts of the plot in Collateral Damage with the one present in the fantastic Arlington Road. Watch Collateral Damage and you will understand why.

Best regards

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great "Arny" action movie!, 22 Aug 2003
By K. Wyatt "ssintrepid" (St. Louis, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Arnold did a wonderful job with this movie. At first it seems like just another predictable action movie. That is not the case. It has a well written plot line and the director carried it out superbly. A lot of people have said that Arnold is getting too old for these movies. I disagree. "Collateral Damage" is living proof that he still has what it takes to make good action movies. {ssintrepid}

4.0 out of 5 stars A Little Thought, 7 Nov 2002
By Matt (England) - See all my reviews
Contrary to popular belief this is not a clean cut, kill em all action flick typical of arnies early films. Check out the DVD commentary and arnie hammers this home with his views on when the hero becomes the terrorist, so don't expect a kill everyone mindless slaughterfest. No the plot isn't explained in depth from every single aspect but thats the idea, to get the viewer to think about terrorism - just like our hero gordy in the film. Sure theres the action parts, and its pretty believable stuff, arnie shows his age, but then again gets beaten down by people he would have despatched in the blink of an eye in his prime.
And another thing, the conclusion, without saying too much is not obvious, besides the fact the hero comes out on top with the aid of some great action sequences that keep this film seriously thought provoking without losing the exitment we expect. Theres action and theres a story you can muse over yourself, and its pulled off pretty well with some comedy moments that are well played enough to not seem corny. Is this a new side of arnie? perhaps so.
