Director:  Andrew Davis		Released:  February 2002
Writer:  Ronald Roose		MPAA Rating:  R
Players:  Arnold Schwarzenegger		Running time:  108 minutes

Here's a novel idea: How about a Schwarzenegger film that has a scene where he is outnumbered and surrounded by mean enemies and forced to fight them.  Collateral Damage has a few of those scenes, but the difference is that Arnold actually loses the fight!  That's actually refreshing for a change.

You can guess the story, I'm sure.  But there are a couple minor surprises thrown in here and there, and like I mentioned, Arnold is not a super-human hero this time around, he's only ... semi-super-human.  But that's enough to make the movie seem more realistic. 

The action isn't all that original, there's nothing you haven't seen before.  No ground-breaking action sequences or visual effects to be found here.  But it makes for a nice little diversion in the tradition of Predator and Commando.
