Explosiv – Blown Away (1994)

Explosiv – Blown Away: Directed by Stephen Hopkins. With Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, Suzy Amis, Lloyd Bridges. An Irish bomber escapes from prison and targets a member of the Boston bomb squad.

“u0026quot;Blown Awayu0026quot; obviously suffered in comparison to u0026quot;Speedu0026quot; since both films were released the same year during the same summer. I never really considered this a pure action film more than a suspense thriller. Things arenu0026#39;t blowing up every 10 minutes and the characters are more deep and interesting here than in a lot of your mindless action romps. I found Jeff Bridges desire to resume a normal life in Boston after his questionable u0026quot;IRA-likeu0026quot; activities back home in Ireland appealing and his lovely fiancee played by Suzy Amis very likeable. Tommy Lee Jones has a great Irish accent and the lunatic he plays is great fun to watch. Lloyd Bridges as Jeffu0026#39;s uncle and Boston cop Forest Whittaker are equally appealing. My home-town newspaper, u0026quot;The Dayton Daily Newsu0026quot; gave the film 3 stars. Iu0026#39;d say thatu0026#39;s about right.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNo sequels please!”
