Broken Arrow (1996) "I SAID, GODDAMN WHAT A RUSH!!"
John Travolta And John Woo rev this baby up and aim for some high octane and witty action thriller, centered on two stealth pilots latter played by charming everyman underdog played by Christian Slater, carrying nukes over Utah desert!!
Samantha Mathis, Delroy Lindo and Frank Whaley add to the supportive cast. Unfortunately, Whaley as a "I am so smart, I scare myself" role got a heavy eye roll from me, the only drawback.
Travolta carries an underrated hostile swag, that's just quite unique to him, especially when he's playing the antagonist, he is the main reason that I keep visiting the movie back!
Utah mountainscape is another, the valleys and horizons make for a nice backdrop, almost primal! Slater although physically less intimidating than Travolta actually owns up to his virtuous role of not fighting dirty, be it in the ring or his life!
Odds keep stacking against him (Slater), but he keeps getting through besting Travolta and his squad with wit and Grit, I was sold! John woo without pigeon work strikes the perfect balance, for what an action movie should contain, Hans Zimmer knocks this one out like it's another Tuesday for him!
In my opinion it's an underrated flick with amazing action sequences starting off with Stealth fighter all the way to train carrying chopper with nukes : amping it up constantly! Almost 30 years old! Definitely worth a rewatch!
