I liked it back then and I still do today.
More than an OK action thriller, it'#39;s based on a book from the late 90s, One Point Safe, that lists real world incidents of stolen nuclear material to sell in the former Eastern Block countries and Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I forgot most of the things in this movie since I watched it in the 90s, except for that car chase where Clooney goes ape shit on those dudes to finish it off. That sequence is one of the best I've seen in my life. No James Bond movie, not even in the Daniel Craig era movies, has come close to making that kind of an impression on me. I give this movie an 8 today, just for that car chase scene alone. This is a very enjoyable conspiracy thriller.
A bombshell on the loose. Nicole Kidman, superb.
Not bad in particular, just not very memorable. Some decent action scenes, but a basic action thriller flick at best. Protective Clooney and trying-to-be-badass-in-the-90s Kidman made it a decent watch tho.
Yeah… no… This is bad. Really bad. Been a while since I saw it and must have forgotten how bad it is. So many stupid scenes it’s amazing I managed to watch it to the end. Another stupid thing is the plot. I know it’s pre 9/11 but still had to believe that they could not identify the man on the video in so many hours and that a nuclear weapon could be smuggled into U.S. even if it was “diplomatic papers”. I don’t buy it. And the over the top performance from Clooney is insane!
Years without seeing it, I still like it, exciting and entertaining, Clooney wastes charisma even hitting the bad guys, reminds me of 24
A loose pump. Nicole Kidman, great.
An OK action thriller about ten nuclear warheads stolen by some corrupt Russians and the race against time to retrieve the last one before a terrorist can detonate it in New York.
This is an under-rated movie since if you think about it this is 24 before there was a 24. Before this became a normal day for Jack Bauer.

Well at least there is some eye candy - George Clooney is at his most alluring. Otherwise, this is really all rather a dull and unremarkable thrill-free thriller that follows the antics of an American colonel "Devoe" and his handler "Kelly" (Nicole Kidman). He is a special intelligence officer, she a scientific expert at the White House - and both are concerned following a nuclear accident on board a train in Russia. Was it an accident? What happened to the warheads that were being transported? Is this a state sponsored bit of warmongering, or have the Kremlin got some rogues to deal with? Of course it falls to our not very dynamic duo to thwart the dastardly plan before the United Nations itself becomes a target. It's got all the usual ingredients - political machinations in Washington, Vienna comes in for quite a pummelling and, of course, there are pyrotechnics too - but the whole film is just too derivative. It smacks of a weak "James Bond" style affair, only without the gadgets or the power ballad. The supporting cast are adequate, and from the looks of it pretty local to the Macedonian location filming, but that authenticity does nothing to augment the pretty stilted dialogue and at over two hours, the largely lethargic pace of the whole thing. Clooney looks the part, Kidman looks uncertain and frankly, a little bored. I now how she felt.
