“Broken Arrow (1996) is one of my favorite John Woo best US action films alongside Hard Target which is my first John Woo favorite film, Broken Arrow is my third personal favorite John Woo action film that I love to death! Hard Target was his first American movie, this is his second American movie, which I think is incredible classic action thriller from the 90u0026#39;s I have ever saw. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is going to be 20. years since this movie come out and i still love it today more than any other movie.I love John Travolta in this movie which I think he did one of his best acting performances of his life. He acted convincing as the main villain Deakins in this movie. Broken Arrow has a great score, great actors and different style of terrorists, who stole nuclear warheads, but didnu0026#39;t took over some plant or building or plane or train etc.. It is completely different action movie. Christian Slater was awesome as the main hero. I love this movie and it is never too long or boring unlike Face/Off. In my honest opinion the movie to me is compared to Die Hard and it is one of John Woou0026#39;s best underrated action movies but that is just my opinion. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is a die hard movie in a desert heat much a like as Stalloneu0026#39;s Cliffhanger. But with very different story and it is a stand alone movie which I love that. John Woo never liked making sequels so A Better Tomorrow II (1987) was his last sequel he made, so I am glad this movie doesnu0026#39;t have any sequels, remakes or reboot. In my opinion the 80u0026#39;s had a lot of better action movies, but the 90u0026#39;s had a very cool action movies too. I still love Die Hard With A Vengeance to death and still love other action movies that were made in 90u0026#39;s. I love Broken Arrow to death! It is my favorite John Woo movie! This is a great film recently and it is a cool action movie. Itu0026#39;s got action, excitement and interesting characters and Legendary music. I love this film. Christian Slater as the Good guy, the Hero was cool and John Travolta was an intriguing character and hilarious, damn what a rush. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe action in here is amazing. Fun action, good acting, quick pace, and entertaining. The final sequence on the train has some quality explosions and even has bad guys killed by helicopter blades. The best thing about this movie though is John Travolta who hams it up beautifully; he is having an absolute blast as Vic Deakins, former US Air Force pilot turned terrorist loon. He also has one of the most over the top and awesome bad guy deaths of all time. I have always enjoyed this movie, I never felt bored I love the action sequences on the train when Hale (Christian Slater) uses one of his martial arts to defeat Deakins (John Travolta) was spectacular he deactivate the nuclear device and kills Deakins it was outstanding. Hans Zimmer theme for Deakins ripped off movie Scream 2 for Dewey (David Arquette) theme. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHans Zimmer provides one of his greatest scores to this movie with some nice twanging guitar from Duane Eddie. I love how any time Travolta is on screen he has this hilarious guitar theme tune which is cool, but hilarious funny at the same time. Broken Arrow has Woou0026#39;s trademark slow motion and double gun-play galore. I believe there is the odd pigeon thrown in for good measure too. Not entirely sure Samantha Mathis was all that great as the female love interest, but it is cool to have a Pump up the Volume reunion (1990). Which I never watched that movie before I am glad they both of the actors (Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis) worked together once more again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBroken Arrow has plenty of flaws but for sheer explosive entertainment you could do a lot worse. I love the movie and could watch it on repeat. The music is also totally epic. This movie getu0026#39;s is a perfect 10 by me. Last Year it was hardly for my supplier of Blu-rayu0026#39;s to get me this movie on Blu-ray I actually have this film in Blu-ray collection this one and Stalloneu0026#39;s Cop Land was so hard to find. I have them both on Blu-ray discs.”
