TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

jordansepticeye This movie was okay,not the worst,not the best.First,the good,the story,well it is generic,it is well executed and it has a few good twists and turns.The pacing,the movie went by fast,but not too fast.The villains,they weren't amazing,but they were well written,they were intimidating and brutal,but you could understand were they were coming from,which was unexpected from an Arnold Schwarznegger movie.The climax,well not the best,was exciting and suspenseful.The best part though,was Arnold himself,well he does have to act through some bad dialogue,he was entertaining,and in a great twist,Arnold isn't an invincible badass,he gets hurt and fails to save people.Now,the bad,as I said,some of the dialogue is really stupid and cheesy.Even though this movie is kind of serious,there are some dumb moments that feel very out of place and take away from scenes that should be serious.The action,it runs a bit too short,and feels very repetitive,there's some shooting,and then too many explosions,excluding the climax.In the end,Collateral Damage has good villains and some good twists,but suffers from weak action,and bad scripting.

Dale Haufrect "Collateral Damage" is a predictable Arnold Schwartzenegger film form 002. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. The writers are Ronald Roose and David Griffiths. The cast includes Arnold Schwartzenegger, Francesca Neri, Elias Kotaeas, Cliff Curtis and John Leguizamo. 'Collateral Damage' was, of course, one of those films whose original release date had to be postponed in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks. In this case, the sensitivity arose as a result of the film's storyline, which revolves around a group of Colombian terrorists determined to strike at targets on American soil. Schwarzenegger plays fireman Gordy Brewer, whose wife and child are killed in an explosion at the Colombian consulate in Los Angeles. Brewer, feeling that the U.S. government has little concern with exacting revenge from the terrorist leader responsible for the explosion, decides to mount a one-man crusade to see that justice is ultimately done. The film, obviously indifferent to its own need for plausibility, sends this virtually unarmed fireman into the unfamiliar jungles of South America to take on what appears to be the entire Colombian police force as well as the guerilla fighters whose actions resulted in the deaths of Brewer's family. Brewer, of course, despite his own inexperience and the formidable odds against him, manages to talk and/or fight his way out of every dire predicament before rescuing his nemesis' wife and their adopted son. I gave it only 5 stars. Dale Haufrect

Amityville15 When Los Angeles family man and firefighter Gordon Brewer loses his wife and child in a bombing. He suddenly finds himself plunged into the complex and dangerous world of international terrorism. The official investigation seems to be going nowhere and Gordon knows that if the person who is responsible for murdering his family is ever going to be brought to justice he will have to do it himself. Gordon's mission takes him deep into the guerrilla zones of Columbia. But just as he is closing in on the terrorist known to the American people as "The Wolf."This film starred: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Elias Koteas & Francesca Neri.COLLATERAL DAMAGE was released in 2002. In my opinion this isn't a terrible film but it definitely won't be remembered as one of Arnie's best action films. This film did try and add a twist in at the end, but in my opinion the film would have ended better if the director kept the film like you think it is going to be. I don't really recommend this film because it was disappointing but I do emphasise that this film isn't terrible like it's reputation may suggest.***/***** Could be worse.

bowmanblue This film would like to make us believe that that this is a radically different venture for big Arnie. It's not. It's pretty much the same kick-ass, kill-the-bad-guys stuff we've seen from him throughout the years, but, does that mean it's a bad film?The critics would say yes. This film was possibly most famous for getting pushed back a year, after comparisons were drawn with the Twin Towers atrocity on 9/11. However, if you can get past that (and there aren't as many similarities as some people may lead us to believe) and just enjoy the ride, you may be in for a surprise.It's a well put together action flick and, if you're a fan of the genre, it should keep you happy for an hour and forty minutes. Give it a chance and enjoy what Arnie does best.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
