The Peacekeeper

Director Mimi Leder does a fantastic job on keeping the action tight and nerve bending in this terrorist action thriller. For some reason George Clooney is more than believable in his role as a U.S. Army Colonel sent to track down a missing nuclear bomb. More often than not you find yourself saying "oh look...it's such and such Hollywood actor trying to play a soldier" but there is something in Clooney that makes you almost feel as if he were a combat technician in an earlier stage of his life. Just as remarkable is the fact Nicole Kidman is also believable as a nuclear expert and, as is the case with the both of them, they look stunningly beautiful while going about their job of saving the day. While a little heavy on the U.S. can do attitude THE PEACEKEEPER does what it's supposed to and that is keep you on the edge of your seat cheering for the good guys.
