Movie Review

Grade: C+ It was only a matter of time before a nuclear movie came out. Again, they had the potential, and, again, they failed to do anything with it. The plot was sketchy and half of the action scenes were based on Clooney's personal vendetta due to the fact that he was a "no-rule" character, something that gets old real quick. Kidman has no direct part in any of the action; she's just dragged along wherever Clooney goes. On the other hand, The Peacemaker does have some cool action, whether it fits the plot or not. You can wait to see The Peacemaker. Read the full movie review
