Broken Arrow (1996)
6/10
A typical action movie, but certainly one of the better in the genre.

Broken Arrow is a typical action movie, but it is a nice one. The movie starts with John Travolta and Christian Slater in a boxing ring. I didn't know what kind of movie this was, so I thought I was going to see a movie like Rocky or perhaps Raging Bull. But I was wrong, this movie isn't about boxing at all...

It's about the air force pilot Major Vic Deakins, played by John Travolta, on a test mission with a stealth bomber. He has two nuclear bombs on board which he wants to steel. He only has one problem: his co-pilot and friend Captain Riley Hale (Christian Slater). He betrays him, but Hale survives the plane crash. With the help of a park ranger Hale will have to save the nukes before everything is blown away.

I know, it all has been done many times before and yes it is all very Hollywood, but it is till nice to watch thanks to the actors' performances (especially Travolta), the nice special effects and stunts. I'm sure that the fans will love all the action scenes which take place really everywhere: on a train, with helicopters, car chases in the desert, a lot of shooting... everything you can imagine.

Even though I'm not a fan of action movies I still give it a 6.5/10. I'm sure a lot of people will hate it, but the fans of action movies certainly should watch this one.
